Cardamone to Touch on Fundraising, Investment Thesis, Current Investment Climate and Trends

Palo Alto, CA – March 29, 2022 – Early Growth, a leading Essential Business Services (EBS) provider, announced today the speaker for its April Meet the VC panel event to be held at 12 p.m. PT on Wednesday, April 13, 2022. Featured guest speaker will be Michael Cardamone, CEO and managing partner of Forum Ventures, a leading New York-based early-stage fund, program, and community for B2B SaaS startups.

Meet the VC is a monthly panel event hosted by Early Growth and its partners.

It is an interview format hosted by Early Growth followed by a Q&A session with attendees at the end of the interview.

After six years in operating roles, he launched Forum Ventures in San Francisco, a B2B SaaS focused accelerator and fund now with locations in San Francisco, New York, and Toronto. In addition to Forum Ventures, he is an angel investor in a dozen companies, including in the seed round of Flexport. Cardamone graduated with a Master’s in Business Administration in finance and marketing from Columbia University’s Business School in May 2008. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Syracuse University. His specialties include developing and managing partnerships, strategy, SaaS, business development, digital marketing, early-stage investing, and early go-to-market sales.
