About Sam Hodges

Sam Hodges is the co-founder and CEO of Vouch, a venture-backed commercial insurance platform for high-growth tech startups, with prior experience as co-founder and U.S. managing director of Funding Circle, which scaled to over $1.5 billion in loan originations before going public. As an angel investor, he targets seed and Series A startups in fintech, marketplaces, space, and insurance, focusing on the intersection of technology, finance, and risk management. He typically participates in Seed rounds, as seen in his investments in Stream (a generative AI workers’ compensation platform) and Meanwhile (a flexible finance tool for small businesses), though his lead/follow behavior is not explicitly documented. Notable portfolio companies include Stream, Meanwhile, and his own ventures Vouch and Funding Circle, the latter attracting investors like Union Square Ventures and Y Combinator. Hodges emphasizes building transformative companies at the nexus of technology and risk management, and he has shared insights on taking companies public and reducing founder risk in interviews, including a discussion on his first startup’s $370 million fundraising and IPO jou
