Investors & Partners at Impact Venture Capital

Eric Ball

General Partner, Impact Venture Capital

Eric Ball spent 30 years in corporate finance at companies like Oracle where he raised over $50 billion in bonds and managed around $60 billion in assets before becoming a venture capital investor, giving him unusually deep treasury and CFO experience for a VC partner. He co-founded Impact Venture Capital as a corporate-friendly fund that systematically brings corporate venture arms into startup financing at later stages, using small seed checks to catalyze large corporate capital in what he calls a relay race model of venture financing.
