EPIC Ventures has appointed venture capitalist and business executive Damon Kirchmeier as a director.
He will play a lead role in identifying and funding promising early-stage companies.
“Damon and EPIC have collaborated on projects for more than 10 years and knowing his extensive background in early-stage investments, we could not be more excited to have him join the EPIC team,” says Kent Madsen, a managing director of EPIC Ventures. “Damon has shown an impressive ability to guide a company financially, operationally and strategically, and adds substantial strength to our team.”
Kirchmeier joins EPIC with more than 17 years of experience in early-stage investment practices. Prior to EPIC Ventures, Kirchmeier was president of Rockwell Time USA, a distributor of athletic watches, where he helped the company become the fastest growing in its field. While at Rockwell he also served as a partner at Auxano Funding, an investment practice that offers entrepreneurs capital.
Previous to that, Kirchmeier co-founded InnoVentures Capital Partners, where he functioned as a managing director for more than 10 years and specialized in fast growing early-stage ventures. Kirchmeier’s experience in venture capital also led him to become a member of two angel investment groups, the Utah Angels and Park City Angels.
“I am thrilled to join the EPIC team,” says Kirchmeier. “As a mission-driven firm that works collectively to achieve results, EPIC perfectly aligns with my background in venture capital and business. I’m excited to contribute to an already stellar team at one of the best performing venture funds in the nation.”
