Fred Coulson, founder and Managing Partner of Five Elms Capital, invests exclusively in fast-growing, founder-owned B2B software companies, typically at a growth inflection point with revenues of $2–$20 million. His firm deploys checks ranging from $5 million to $150 million (evolving from earlier $1–$10 million rounds) to provide both liquidity and growth capital. Coulson’s distinctive thesis targets lower-middle-market, bootstrapped businesses in historically neglected U.S. regions that challenge incumbents with must-have products and strong customer retention. Notable portfolio companies include Prismatic, Field Agent, Lumar, Trackforce, and Spring Venture Group, a digital health insurance platform he also chairs.
