About Charlie Banks

Charlie Banks, co-founder and Managing Director of VentureSouth, invests in early-stage (angel and seed) technology-driven companies across the Southeastern United States, with typical check sizes of $500,000–$1.5 million for the first round. His portfolio includes notable companies such as Spiffy, 6AM City, Baebies, and Bosscat, spanning sectors like SaaS, HealthTech, life sciences, and industrial/energy while explicitly excluding consumer products.
