Fund I was small, and Expert360 was its biggest bet. We wrote a seed cheque most people thought was crazy into a market most people thought was fragmented-by-design. It became our first marquee return.
Expert360 now powers elite talent marketplaces for enterprise teams across four countries. Bridget still picks up when we call.

AirTree led; Daniel Petre joined the board as revenue grew 10x.
Founding board director. Paul has been Bridget's first call since 2014 through every cycle.
