Laconia’s team has always been small but mighty. Whether we’re in the biggest bull market in history or a painful correction, we’ve always been laser-focused on finding b2b software companies transforming how business is done.
As we head into what is sure to be a very busy Q4, we are excited to announce that Mirit Lugassi has joined our investment team. Mirit is a startup operator with more than a decade of global experience (US, UK, Israel & Europe) building early-stage companies in the b2b software space. Mirit has transformed companies and teams taking on positions such as Head of Growth & Customer Success at DueDil (Acquired by Artesian) and VP of Customer Operations at a high-growth early-stage Edtech startup. She’s driven results like increasing ARRs by 10x, accelerating customer acquisition by 5x per month, and closing Series A investment rounds.
Before joining Laconia’s investment team Mirit helped build two cutting-edge operations: 51 Unicorns, an investment club aimed at female retail investors, and SeedImpact, an alternative investment firm orchestrating investment opportunities between mission-driven angel investors and underrepresented founders. Mirit is also an alumna of Included VC, a venture fellowship for leaders on a mission to diversify and change the face of the VC industry.
Mirit’s operational background bolsters Laconia’s support for founders. As we’ve gotten to know Mirit, we’ve been impressed not only by her deep expertise but also by her ability to learn quickly, intuition for exciting business opportunities, and instinct for potential in founders. At the same time, Mirit brings a critical eye to the structural challenges facing the VC industry and a genuine interest in driving change.
If you bump into her at any NY Tech events or at our office for TechScape during a quick break, please give her a warm welcome! You can reach her directly at mirit at laconiacapitalgroup dot com.
