Ryan Petersen runs Flexport Fund as an operator-driven investment vehicle where Flexport insiders work hands-on with founders on logistics and supply chain challenges, rather than maintaining the typical arms-length approach of traditional VCs. He focuses on early-stage companies solving complex coordination problems in transportation and supply chain technology, drawing from his experience of building, restructuring, and re-accelerating Flexport to guide portfolio founders through similar operational challenges.
