Hugh Phelan
Investment Manager
Social Musician
As an early employee at restaurant software company MarginEdge, I lived the tight deadlines, difficult trade-offs, and the ups and downs that come with scaling a startup, helping the company grow from Series A to Series C with over 200 employees. Paired with my early-stage B2B SaaS investing experience at Osage Venture Partners, I bring both an investor’s perspective and a practical understanding of the challenges founders face. Founders are the true experts in their domains — my role is to understand their world as deeply as possible and serve as a trusted sparring partner and sounding board. Whether it’s refining go-to-market strategy or tackling day-to-day operational challenges, my goal is to bring clarity, focus, and support where it matters most. Outside of work, I’m happiest on a tennis or squash court, at a piano, or finding fellow musicians to jam with.
