Scott Garber brings an unusual combination of intelligence community experience (holding CIA clearance since age 20) and a distinctive value investor approach to venture capital, explicitly targeting 3-8x exits and sub-$100M outcomes rather than chasing unicorns. He has demonstrated strong realized returns as an angel investor in 50+ companies while focusing on first-time founders in second-tier cities, backed by his own entrepreneurial journey from childhood businesses to founding two tech startups before moving into investing.
