In 2016, George Deeb moved from the windy city (Chicago) to the Triangle and since then he's been a great addition to the ecosystem. George runs Red Rocket which is half growth consulting and half venture fund/private equity. (note
The Triangle Tweener Fund strategy is to build an index – smaller investments in a relatively large number of companies. At the current fund size this translates to 10-15 investments a quarter, or 40-60 a year. If you’ve been involved with traditional venture funds (picking winners) this pace seems impossible. Trust us, it’s not easy, but it’s definitely possible and the opportunity is there.
