Charles Shannon

Venture Partner

I work with founders at the moments that define their company. I like to see them sharpening the narrative, proving the metrics that matter, making pivotal enterprise decisions, or executing a successful fundraise. My bias is toward short diligence cycles and building conviction. I try to ask the questions that cut to the core of what you need to believe, and connect you to the right people at the right time.

I’ve been in venture since before it was cool, so my edge comes from 13+ years in finance and venture. I’ve had a front-row seat to companies from seed through IPO, which gave me both perspective across stages and a network I draw on constantly. I’ve worked with several unicorns (Robinhood, Deel, UiPath just to name a few), so I know what it takes for you to get there. To be clear, I don’t pretend to know everything, but I will make sure you meet the person who does. At Switch, I focus on finding new opportunities and strengthening our diligence process and pipeline. Why can’t the next team build this? What’s your non-obvious insight? And what single factor will make or break this company?
