About Flywheel Capital.
Founded by Sam Lawson, a veteran with a $20B+ transaction record and a deep background in venture secondaries. Sam and his team have the know-how and network to bring Flywheel’s ambitious thesis to life. His expertise in navigating complex secondary markets gives Flywheel a unique advantage in sourcing high-potential deals across pre-seed, seed, and early-stage VC, as well as in individual companies that meet specific growth criteria.
One of the most exciting aspects of Flywheel’s strategy is its multi-layered approach to deal sourcing. The firm taps into an extensive network built from years of industry partnerships, alongside newer avenues like the Investor Club.eu community, Flywheel Associates, and the proprietary Flywheel Engine technology platform. Together, these networks amplify Flywheel’s reach and precision, enabling the firm to identify and secure opportunities that others often overlook. Flywheel offers a fresh approach that aligns liquidity with performance, allowing founders to retain upside while investors benefit from strong, risk-adjusted returns.
Focused on closing the venture liquidity gap, Flywheel is creating a dynamic ecosystem where capital flows efficiently, supporting founders to grow and LPs to realize value faster.
