Chris Huether
Head of Finance
Chris is a Principal at Inspired Capital. Prior to Inspired, Chris was a seed stage VC at First Round Capital after initially beginning his career at The Blackstone Group.
Chris has spent the past decade working with early stage teams as they find and accelerate through product-market fit. With a deep understanding of financial markets and the more quantitative side of finance, Chris works with early stage founders by helping them bridge the gap between the amorphous zero-to-one phase and eventual hyperscale – often as a company’s first check or first Board Member. Chris loves working with teams who are thinking a decade ahead of where the world currently operates. He seeks to be the best partner to teams via conviction, patience, trust, and as many late night working sessions as a journey may require. His goal is to always be a founder’s first call.
Chris invests across all categories, with a particular focus on applied AI seeking to disrupt vertical industries.
