Partner, R7 Partners

About

Will Urban is a venture capital investor at R7 Partners who built his investing practice on top of a rare "full-stack" freight and logistics career, including decades at Expeditors and serving as Chief Revenue Officer at Flexport where he helped scale it to unicorn status. He operates a dedicated boutique advisory firm alongside his VC role, working hands-on with freight, supply chain, and industrial-tech companies, which gives founders access to operational support that is much closer to a consulting engagement than a traditional investor relationship.
