Glenn Lurie led AT&T's negotiations to bring the first iPhone and iPad to market, then went on to build new businesses inside AT&T like its IoT division, Digital Life, and Aio Wireless (which became Cricket Wireless). Now at Stormbreaker Ventures, he focuses on connected cars, smart cities, and embedded connectivity, bringing the same hands-on approach he developed as a three-time NCAA soccer champion at Seattle Pacific University.
About their Fund
Stormbreaker Ventures focuses specifically on the infrastructure, software, and connectivity layers behind networks, IoT, and edge systems, rather than general tech or software investing, and its general partners are former executives from AT&T Mobility, Qualcomm, and Bell Canada/Clearnet—including Glenn Lurie, who helped negotiate the first iPhone deal and built AT&T's IoT and Digital Life businesses, and Derek Aberle, former President of Qualcomm—giving the fund direct experience running telecom networks and products rather than just investing in them. This specialization has attracted founders building connectivity infrastructure as well as strategic investors like Thermo Companies and Mi Capital, who don't typically invest in venture funds but chose Stormbreaker specifically for its wireless and mobility expertise.
