About the Program

Investment Stage
Description

Jonathan Lehr is a former Morgan Stanley IT insider who built Work-Bench's investment approach around systematically mining Fortune 500 leaders for problems first, then finding startups to solve them, rather than starting with founder pitches. He runs a highly concentrated portfolio of about 6 investments per year and has led multiple unicorns like Cockroach Labs from seed while founding and running the 10,000+ member New York Enterprise Technology Meetup for over a decade as both a community asset and deal sourcing engine.
