About Cliff Holekamp
Cofounded and manage one of the most active venture capital firms in the United States, and am actively looking for investment opportunities in high-growth, early-stage tech startups in the Midwest and Southeast. Started my career in enterprise sales at IBM in Nashville. Later was a healthcare entrepreneur, founding and managing a chain of podiatric medical centers, who exited to private equity. Retired from academia where I led the entrepreneurship program at Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. Was named one of the Top 100 Entrepreneurship Professors in the World, and led the entrepreneurship program from its infancy to ranked #1 in the world. Passionate about entrepreneurship as a means for economic development, serving in various community leadership roles.
