Rick Prostko is an 🏷️#investor and 🏷️#venture-capitalist backing consumer internet companies — commerce, marketplaces, and digital media — from seed through growth stage. Since 2021 he has led direct investing in North America for Teachers' Venture Growth, the late-stage venture arm of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, working from San Francisco and coordinating between the venture portfolio and the pension plan's other asset classes.
Before that he spent several years as a Managing Director at Comcast Ventures, where his investments included b8ta, Hired, Instacart, 📝Dollar Shave Club, and Modsy. Earlier investment roles at VantagePoint Capital Partners and Summit Partners bring his experience across venture and growth equity to roughly two decades.
Rick and I were connected through 📝Networked's 📝Engineered Serendipity in September 2018.
