About Kelly Perdew

Kelly Perdew is a West Point-trained Airborne Ranger who built his investing philosophy around extraordinary leadership, arguing that military training in leadership maps directly to startup chaos and constrained resources. He leverages his and co-GP Craig Cummings' military network to backchannel veteran founders through trust-based diligence, asking would you want this person in your foxhole, and intentionally concentrates a large share of his AUM in veteran-led companies based on his view that leaders trusted with sons and daughters in combat treat other people's money with similar gravity.
