In addition to his role at GKM, Mr. Morris was until recently the Chairman of Tech Coast Angels. In the multifaceted world of venture capital there are firms like GKM that invest in "expansion stage" companies, those companies with a proven track record, substantial revenues, and a growing customer base. And then there are angel investors, and angel investor consortiums, like Tech Coast Angels. Angel capital fills the gap in start-up financing between "friends and family" (sometimes called "friends, family, and fools") who provide seed funding, and venture capital. Mr. Morris is unique in that he has involved himself in both ends of venture capital investing, and with that, brings unparalleled expertise to the deals he considers. Mr. Morris is a Tuck man, and with an impressive educational foundation, has held a variety of positions throughout his career in finance. But in venture capital Mr. Morris seems to have found his niche, and is helping others create niches of their own.
