Pete Flint serves as Managing Partner at NFX. The co-founder of Trulia, Pete is a serial entrepreneur who built one of today's most successful marketplaces. As CEO, Pete led the company from inception to one of the largest and fastest growing real estate websites in the U.S. with more than 50 million monthly unique users and a merger with Zillow in 2015 that valued Trulia at $3.5 billion.

Description

I am a very early stage venture capitalist and a Founder of True Ventures. I have started 3 companies as a Founder, and have been in the venture capital business since 1991. My background is mostly with early stage companies in the internet, media, mobile markets. My personal mission is to empower entrepreneurs because I believe that innovators can change the world. We started True Ventures because we felt as Founders that the traditional venture capital industry had grown too large to best serve the needs of the earliest stage entrepreneurs. At True, we have redesigned venture with the Founder as customer. Everything we do is designed to best help the early stage entrepreneur realize their dreams. We normally invest between $250,000-$2.5mm and are almost always the first investor in a company. Our deals are simple and clean and our funds are large for what we do. This means that although our initial checks are small, we are a powerful financial partner for a growing company, and we plan to invest large dollars with growth and success.I'm passionate about my kids, flying, and essentially anything outdoors. If we're meeting, be careful not to bring up airplanes, because I could spend all day talking about the wonder and beauty of flight, and we might not get much else done :).Specialties: very early stage venture capital, seed stage investing, startup advice, technology innovation, aviation
