Tom Hillman, the founding general partner of Lewis & Clark Ventures, invests in late-seed through Series A B2B software, healthcare, and agtech companies, typically deploying initial checks of $2 million to $3 million (with a separate agtech fund investing $3M–$7M). His portfolio includes notable exits such as Answers (nearly $1B exit) and Hoover’s, alongside current holdings like Benson Hill, Summersalt, and Adarza BioSystems. Hillman’s distinctive thesis emphasizes partnering with visionary founders in overlooked U.S. regions between the coasts, particularly the Midwest, to build iconic, sustainably growing B2B software companies rather than pursuing growth at all costs.
