Notable Investments
Lockstep Ventures is a sub-$50M venture capital fund that invests exclusively in "overlooked visionaries of color" and startups directly tackling racial disparities in health, wealth, education, and justice/recidivism under its "Disparity to Prosperity" thesis. The fund's founding team uniquely combines a serial entrepreneur, a high-profile CPG marketing executive (B. Bonin Bough), and a criminal-justice advocate (Marcus Glover), while integrating "fair chance hiring" of people with criminal records as a core value creation lever rather than a side metric.
