Ian Sigalow

Co-Founder and Partner, Greycroft

About

Ian Sigalow co-founded Greycroft at 27 after an unusually early start in venture capital, having joined a VC firm straight out of MIT, and describes himself as a relentless info junkie who prints academic papers and technical docs to read offline, seeing cross-pollination between disparate fields as core to generating differentiated investment theses. He has a distinctive track record of backing multiplayer financial products that combine utility with social behavior, from early angel investing in Venmo to backing Public.com, and thinks in terms of technology S-curves and form factors rather than categories, actively studying spatial computing and looking for founders building for future hardware platforms years before the user base exists.
