We are a team of four friends who enjoy the challenge of owning and growing interesting software products.

Third South Capital officially 'began' when Harrison introduced Colin and Justin. The three of us had each been independently obsessed with the idea of owning a portfolio of small businesses. We decided to put our efforts together and settled on software as a focus.

As Third South continued to ramp up, Myles got to know the three of us well. Myles began doing part-time work on the portfolio and we are thrilled to report he was excited enough to join us full-time as the fourth Partner.

The four of us each bring different skills and experience to our investment team. Selected experience between us:
