Roger Ehrenberg
Partner
Roger a/k/a Dad has been seeding transformational companies for almost 20 years. After spending the first phase of his career rising to the top of Wall Street in derivatives and trading and five years building a premier venture portfolio, he founded the generationally successful seed stage venture firm IA Ventures in 2009.
There, Roger was the first institutional money in future decacorns The Trade Desk and Wise, while his partners at IA invested in category defining companies including Datadog, Digital Ocean and Komodo Health (among other gems).
A three-time member of the Forbes Midas List, Roger decided to change his life and focus on investing family money in sports franchises, sports-related technologies and web3 infrastructure and applications - with his sons Andrew and Ethan. This was the motivation for founding Eberg Capital.
Finally, Roger also loves all things Michigan. He was born in Detroit, followed his sister Ellen to University of Michigan where he met his wife and best friend Carin, and helped create a family culture that led Andrew and Ethan to continue the family tradition as fellow Wolverines. Roger also does extensive work with the University in Athletics, the College of Engineering and the Ross School of Business, and is a co-founder and partner at Greatwater Opportunity Capital, a Detroit-based real estate firm focused on developing affordable housing to assist with Detroit's rejuvenation as a great place to live, work and raise a family.
