Santosh Sankar

Managing Partner, Dynamo Ventures

Santosh built and sold multiple companies starting at age 13 with an IT support firm, then later a financial media publication he exited while still in college, giving him real operating experience that's unusual for a full-time investor. He's deeply embedded in the logistics content ecosystem as host of Dynamo's "Future of Supply Chain" podcast and regular guest on industry shows, while being based in Chattanooga's "Freight Alley" where he serves on local boards—positioning him as a grounded, community-oriented investor rather than a coastal commuter VC.
