Lew (pronounced “lef”) is a real wild animal and a cat-egory defining pawfessional. He’s one of the first of his kind in venture. His pawsition consists of hunting deals, diligence of investment clawses, and financial analysis of our funds’ performance metrics such as TVPIs, IRRs, and RO(A)Rs. He’s a true cat-alyst for change. Recently, he’s been conducting research on zoonotic diseases as well as the long-tail of drug development. But Lew’s true “helper” nature is paw-erfully visible in his other mane responsibility: portfolio founder support. During crisis times, Lew helps founders press pawse and gain perspective. He’s always available fur anyone in need. Lew takes particular pride in the fact that he’s one of the cat-founders of Fifty Years, as he joined Ela and Seth in 2014 and has been around when Fifty Years was first incorpurrated in 2015. Lew’s life mission is to help create a more inspiring and fair version of catipalism.
A fun fact: Lew’s name means “Lion” in Poland, where he currently holds a dual-citizenship.
