David Stassen is a founding Managing Director of Split Rock Partners and a member of the firm’s healthcare investment team, having served as a manager since the firm’s 2004 inception. Although the firm originally included healthcare, Stassen’s current focus aligns with Split Rock’s core thesis of backing enterprise software, SaaS, and internet services companies in the Upper Midwest and West Coast. The firm typically invests $10 million to $25 million per company, primarily at Series A and Series B stages, with flexibility to lead or follow based on founder relationships. Notable portfolio companies include Alert Logic, Gravie, VoloMetrix, Calabrio, and Tripwire, which reflect the firm’s emphasis on category-defining enterprise solutions. Stassen co-founded the firm with Michael Gorman and Jim Simons after spinning out of St. Paul Venture Partners, bringing deep domain expertise to early-stage software investing. There is no publicly available writing or distinctive point of view attributed specifically to Stassen beyond the firm’s stated investment philosophy.
