Ma Thoughts

Thoughts on investing, operating, VC, startups, and a little bit of everything else.

Hi there - I’m Charley! I am the co-founder and managing partner of Exponential Founders Capital, an early stage venture capital firm.

Prior to investing, I spent most of my career as an operator. I was very lucky to have been one of the first business hires at companies like Plaid, Ramp, and Alloy where I focused on all things early GTM (sales, marketing, customer success, etc). I also spent several years angel investing prior to starting my own fund.

I try to focus on quality over quantity, but DYOR.
