About Alexander Carvalho
Shawn Ellis is both a venture investor and fund founder who built NFP Ventures before spinning it into Distributed Ventures, giving him corporate venture, independent VC and operator experience within one continuous arc. He leverages a highly curated LP network from commercial insurance, employer benefits consulting and financial services to serve as a built-in go-to-market council for portfolio companies, providing rapid access to pilots, pricing feedback and channel partnerships rather than just capital.
