About Dan Caruso
Dan Caruso is a three-time decacorn entrepreneur who built three separate fiber companies (MFS, Level 3, Zayo) to $10B+ outcomes before becoming a venture investor, giving him an unusually consistent multi-decade track record of value creation. Known as The Bear for his intense leadership style, he focuses on quantum and space technologies as the next internet from his Colorado base, where he actively builds the regional ecosystem while emphasizing long time horizons and durable cash-flow businesses over hype-driven investing.
