With a background in product management, consulting, and venture capital, I have collaborated with top financial institutions and technology firms in the US and Europe. I actively invest in over 15 startups in the fintech and B2B SaaS sectors, supporting them from pre-seed to growth stages. Previously, I directed product strategy and execution at Yandex.Split. My career began at Boston Consulting Group, and I hold an MBA from Kellogg School of Management.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;dce_tooltip_arrow&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;dce_tooltip_follow_cursor&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;dce_tooltip_max_width_laptop&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;dce_tooltip_max_width_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;dce_tooltip_max_width_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;dce_tooltip_touch&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;dce_tooltip_zindex&quot;:&quot;9999&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"dyncontel-acf.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dynamic-content-for-elementor-acf \">(Speaker)<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c1fe29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-dyncontel-acf\" data-id=\"3c1fe29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;acf_field_list&quot;:&quot;contributors_organization&quot;,&quot;acf_type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"dyncontel-acf.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dynamic-content-for-elementor-acf \">Soloway Group<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-734da2e elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-dyncontel-acf\" data-id=\"734da2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;acf_field_list&quot;:&quot;contributors_panels&quot;,&quot;acf_type&quot;:&quot;text&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"dyncontel-acf.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dynamic-content-for-elementor-acf \">(Speaker)<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"dce-acf-repeater-item swiper-slide\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"7008\" class=\"elementor elementor-7008 dce-elementor-rendering-id-32\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5dc824 contributor_name e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b5dc824\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cc55d5 show_bio elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-laptop e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4cc55d5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae4b26b elementor-widget elementor-widget-dyncontel-acf\" data-id=\"ae4b26b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;acf_field_list&quot;:&quot;contributor_image&quot;,&quot;acf_type&quot;:&quot;wysiwyg&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"dyncontel-acf.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dynamic-content-for-elementor-acf \"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10633 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1-300x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/ventureforum.net\/fall2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/wsp_headshot-William-Podd-1024x1024-1.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 90px) 100vw, 90px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10634\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 12px;\">William Podd is the Executive Director of Landmark Angels (a national, private angel group), President &amp; CEO of Landmark Capital (a boutique advisory and consulting firm founded in 1993 and based in Greenwich, CT), and President of the Landmark Family Office (an investment alliance of prominent US and international Family Offices).

I founded Pitch Global, a platform aimed at enhancing the tech startup ecosystem in Silicon Valley while increasing $500 million in SBDA Norcal assistance.
