The Team
The people behind the BBQ.
From the very beginning, our vision for BBQ Capital was to build more than a firm, it was to create a foundational support system for the world's most ambitious founders. Over the last decade, we have deployed capital into category defining businesses.

In his early San Francisco days, he was the one behind the grill, personally hosting the rooftop BBQs that would become the bedrock of our community. From those humble beginnings in 2017 to the present, he has applied that same passion to spearhead the firm's investments in generational companies.

Buddy led BBQ's growth strategy, investing in companies such as Discord, Motive, Reddit and more. In addition, Buddy brings over 10 years experience in the technology industry both as an angel investor and a founder of 2 companies, the first of which was acquired in 2013.
