His investment thesis focuses exclusively on seed and early-stage tech-enabled ventures, primarily within the United States, with a strong emphasis on New Jersey startups where he founded the state’s first business accelerator, TechLaunch. Casabona typically leads investments in a fund managing over 20 companies, though specific check sizes are not publicly disclosed.
