Investor

Building with First Principles

Stu Posluns is an engineer at heart who ended up as an investor primarily by accident. He brings close to fifteen years of experience in Silicon Valley across both finance (Francisco Partners, Blackstone) and startups (Armory, Voicea), with a primary focus on infrastructure software and select industry verticals.

Stu is a contrarian by nature works with founders that buck conventional wisdom and take a first-principles approach to solving problems for their customers. He comes to work with curiosity, excitement, and a very healthy dose of nerdiness.

Outside of the office, Stu is typically out and about with his wife and children or in the kitchen tinkering with a new recipe.

“We built Innovius with a concentrated investment strategy for two reasons. The first is that we believe focus will lead to better outcomes. The second, but more important, reason is simply that we find it a lot more fun and motivating to work side-by-side with our founders through the ups and downs of company-building.”

Things I’m Building Outside or Inside of Innovius

A growing family (three young kiddos and a dog, and counting).
A stack of cookbooks and new recipes that is growing far faster than my capacity to work through.
