Manager's Experience

The Gutter Capital founding team brings combined operator-investor expertise across enterprise software, AI, FinTech, and climate tech sectors with contrarian investment thesis. Dan Teran (Founder & Managing Partner) founded the firm bringing operator-investor expertise from his prior role as Co-Founder of Managed by Q (acquired by WeWork for $220M in 2019) and operating roles at Prehype and Foursquare. The firm operates from NYC with dedicated focus on supporting non-obvious founders working in "gutter" or unsexy categories overlooked by other VCs, leveraging deep East Coast venture ecosystem relationships at pre-seed and seed stages.
