As an angel investor, he focuses on early-stage companies, having co-founded four businesses in the past decade, two of which were venture-backed. His investment portfolio includes angel investments in Grabcad, Shareaholic, and Helpscout, alongside advisory roles at Boundless, Namo Media (acquired by Twitter), and Gametime. DeRoeck’s background spans multiple executive roles, including EIR at Trinity Ventures and co-founder/CMO at Boundless, reflecting deep operational experience in product and marketing.
