Scaling a tech business comes with unique challenges—scarce resources, limited technical expertise, and high stakes. But what if your tech partner was also an investor with skin in the game?

In this webinar hosted by InHouse Ventures' Elliot Spiegel, I join founders Mark Nimco (PaymentLogic) and Cameron Hope (Hirehood) to explore the transformative potential of tech equity. We all share how this hands-on investment model fills critical technical gaps, aligns with long-term visions, and delivers real, measurable results.
