Entering VC from a broad background in business development and operating roles across Marketplaces, SaaS, and Fintech, Justin joined Lightspeed in 2021, based in our New York City office, to help lead the team’s Fintech practice and build on its portfolio investments in iconic companies like Affirm and Carta. He brings deep conviction to partnering with those who are building new products that create entirely new markets. His strategic thinking, founder-first lens, tenacity, and willingness to ask difficult questions bridge what is often a gap between the product development and go-to-market sides of a company.
