Keith Hamlin co-founded Third Prime after seven years as an M&A lawyer at Skadden and experience developing real estate projects including a lakeside condominium and self-storage conversions, giving him an unusual combination of legal deal-structuring expertise and hands-on development experience for an early-stage VC. He focuses on backing companies that improve lives for people outside major tech hubs by expanding access to services and capital, and personally helps structure debt and equity financings, partnerships, and M&A rather than just providing capital.
