Chief Investment Officer

Adam Harrington

Funding & Financing

I’m a super founder with multiple exits and failures. I am also an experienced investor and corporate builder specializing in domestic and international banking transactions, corporate strategy, sales execution, and management advisory.
‍
My career highlights include co-founding two Wall Street investment firms, leading investments with successful public listings in the USA and UK, managing both a private equity and long/short company, and creating shareholder value for my international network of notable high-net-worth investors.

Over the past three decades, I’ve focused on supporting entrepreneurs and investing in tech, data platforms, software, and biotech. I have played a pivotal role in building and funding companies that disrupt and challenge traditional models.

Currently, I advise and invest in several early-stage companies and investment entities and serve as the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Intellectual Digital Companies.
