Previously, Collin was a founder of the Kauffman Fellows VC fund and on the founding fund team at the pioneering data-driven VC firm Correlation Ventures.
An avid competitor, Collin spends his free time training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, mountain biking, and climbing mountains.
Additionally, Collin and his team of four broke a Guinness World Record by completing the first crossing of the Arctic Ocean under human power.
Collin and his team rowed a boat over 1,000 miles non-stop and unsupported for 41 days through the biggest storm season in Arctic history.
However, most days Collin and his wife Sunni find themselves chasing their twin sons and daughter around their neighborhood.
