Jerome Hamilton brings an unusually hands-on operational perspective to venture investing, having spent 15+ years running large-scale operations at Ford and General Motors before becoming a Plant Manager and later 3M's General Manager with full P&L responsibility, plus serving as CEO of Open Therapeutics where he scaled the company from $2.5M to $38M valuation. He operates from three distinct vantage points as a General Partner at Brown Venture Group, Partner at Hidden Star Capital, and COO/Partner at Warecorp, while grounding his leadership philosophy in faith and service, which aligns with his focus on mentorship and supporting underestimated founders.
