“Natan and Sam bring exceptional investing experience and true domain expertise in our four core focus areas – manufacturing, construction, transportation & logistics, and alternative energy,” said Ty Findley, Co-Founder & General Partner of Ironspring Ventures. “They also grow our boots on the ground presence in New York, a key ecosystem for industrial tech in 2025, and enable Ironspring to mature to the next level as an emerging early-stage fund focused on accelerating digital industrial adoption.”
“All organizations are defined by their people, and in Natan and Sam, there is strong alignment with Ironspring Ventures’ mission, vision, and values,” said Peter J. Holt, Co-Founder & General Partner of Ironspring Ventures. “Both embody the commitment to integrity, collaboration, innovation, and results that are the foundation of our firm.”
Natan brings nearly eight years of industrial innovation investing experience to Ironspring Ventures, with particular depth in supply chain research and technology. Most recently, he served as Principal at 25madison, a New York-based early-stage venture capital firm and venture studio, where he led investing across supply chain and industrials. Prior to this, Natan was an early investor at Ironspring and supported more than 15 investments, including Document Crunch, OneRail, Prokeep, Solvento, and GoodShip, among others. In his early career, Natan initiated and led the first-ever research coverage of supply chain and logistics innovation at CB Insights, where he regularly advised Fortune 500 global companies. Natan is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley (BA Economics).
Natan is a seasoned subject matter expert, discerning early-stage investor, and passionate founder ally, and we could not be more excited to welcome him back to Ironspring Ventures!
Sam comes to Ironspring Ventures as an accomplished investor, with impressive experience investing across stages and asset classes focusing on industrial innovation. Prior to joining Ironspring, Sam was a Vice President at LoneTree Capital, a New York-based growth equity firm, where he invested in companies across software, AI, and fintech. Before that, he was an investor at Accel-KKR in Silicon Valley, where he worked on deals with leading companies across the digital industrial ecosystem including Kaleris and Enmark. Sam began his career in investment banking at Solomon Partners where he advised many companies on strategic transactions, including industrial focused 3Gtms and EquipmentShare. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (BA Political Science), Sam traces his early passion for industrial technology back to his grandfather who owned a cabinet manufacturing business.
Sam is a sharp industrials investor, insightful strategist, and dedicated ecosystem builder, and we’re thrilled for him to join our crew!
