The team

Operators first. Investors second.

Every person here has built, scaled, or sold something. That is the bar. When we back a founder, this is the team that shows up with them.

Founding partners

Built, scaled, and exited.

A workplace connection turned into a partnership: one side strategy and capital, the other side product and scale.

Rob Peabody

Founding Partner

Rob is a founder who knows what it takes to build something from nothing. He co-founded VOMO, a volunteer management platform for nonprofits, and led it until it was acquired by Virtuous Software in 2022.

Before Outperform Ventures, Rob served as Entrepreneur in Residence at Eagle Venture Fund and founded five organizations across the U.S. and U.K. He is not just an investor, he is an operator who wants every founder he backs to reach their full potential.

Keith Brown

Founding Partner

Keith has been building since he was a kid. By the time he was 20, he was running a hundred different websites from his college dorm room. Since then, he has worn every hat, CEO, CRO, COO, and CMO, to help tech companies scale.

Keith was an early employee at Aha!, helping drive the incredible Inc. 5,000 growth that made them the fastest-growing software company in America. He also served as a VP at RealPage during a massive growth period that later led to their $10.2 billion sale to Thoma Bravo.

As an early investor in companies like Tesla and Slack, Keith has a knack for spotting what’s next and the hands-on experience to help founders get there.

What we believe

Four values. No exceptions.

Each value has two edges: what we stand for, and what we reject. They decide who we hire and who we back.

01

Take ownership

We own outcomes, not tasks. We take responsibility instead of waiting for instructions. We don't build excuses, we build companies.
02

Default to action

We bias toward movement, not meetings. We push work forward, not sideways. Long discussions and consensus building slow the work down.
03

Create leverage

We care about outcomes that scale. Code that compounds. Growth loops that sustain themselves. Products that generate revenue while you sleep.
04

Win together

We don't hoard credit, we hoard impact. When a venture succeeds, everyone who helped shares in the upside.
