For Vaughn Crowe, the world of manufacturing and industrials isn’t theoretical. It’s innate. Now a VC, he grew up in Newark, historically an American industrial powerhouse.
“I was in the same neighborhood as the airport and the port,” said Crowe. “Before I knew what being a financier was, there was the thought that being a longshoreman wasn’t a bad idea. It’s a good living and I had friends who went down that path. When you’re from that environment, you can apply some critical thinking and understanding that there’s value to be created.”
