Steve is General Partner of Automotive Ventures, an early-stage automotive technology and mobility venture firm that helps entrepreneurs raise growth capital and accelerate their business and delivers outsized returns to investors in the fund. An expert in mergers, acquisitions, strategy and fundraising, Steve has overseen over $1 billion of acquisitions. His first book, The Future of Automotive Retail, is a must-read for entrepreneurs, investors, strategists and business leaders who are interested in getting ahead of the automotive technology curve and staying there.
