    Description:

    Formerly Evolution Corporate Advisors, Evolution VC Partners is a New York-based 'culture-tech' venture investment firm focused on investing in and partnering with disruptive companies with a strong team, product, and market opportunity. The firm is the private investment vehicle for Gregg Smith, who spent 20 years on Wall Street as an investment banker focused on private equity. The firm invests in companies that will change the way people smoke, shop, move, share, communicate, heal, listen to music and eat. Evolution helps entrepreneurs build great companies and consider ourselves to be an 'investment accelerator' and will seek to be active creators of value for our portfolio companies. The firm is stage agnostic but prefers to see a developed and market-ready or launched product. Evolution only invests the capital of its founder and his family and do not provide investment advice to any outside parties.
