Our Team

Behind every partnership is a team that believes in doing things the right way — with patience, discipline, and a genuine commitment to the founders we work with.

VHC (Velvet Hammer Capital) was built by people who understand what it takes to grow a business, because we've done it ourselves. We bring decades of combined experience in operations, finance, and entrepreneurship — but what really sets our team apart is how we show up for the founders we partner with: present, honest, and invested for the long run.

We don't just fund businesses, we invest in people. That starts with our own.

How we work together

Every member of the VHC team plays a role in the same mission: helping ambitious founders and exceptional companies grow the right way. Whether it's structuring a deal, supporting day-to-day operations, or simply picking up the phone when a founder needs advice, we operate as true partners — not distant investors.

• Deep operational experience. Our team has built, run, and grown businesses — we know what the work actually looks like.

• A steady hand. We make thoughtful, disciplined decisions rather than chasing quick wins.

• Real relationships. We measure success by the strength of our partnerships, not just the size of our portfolio.
