Cherryrock Capital's Stacy Brown-Philpot: Doubling Down on Overlooked Founders in a Changed VC Landscape

Cherryrock Capital, a venture capital firm founded by former TaskRabbit CEO Stacy Brown-Philpot, is focusing on overlooked founders with smaller Series A and B checks. Brown-Philpot, a decade-long Google veteran, launched the firm after seeing a gap in access to capital for underinvested entrepreneurs building software companies. Cherryrock is targeting 12 to 15 investments from its first fund and has backed five companies so far, taking a measured pace in an era of rapid capital deployment.
