Chris Weingartner

Chris Weingartner, Managing Director on Founders Advisors’ Technology Practice, has guided over 35 capital raises or exits with a cumulative enterprise value of nearly $1.2 billion since joining Founders in 2014.

Chris graduated from Washington and Lee University with a B.A. in Economics and from Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management with an M.B.A., specializing in Corporate Finance and concentrating in Operations. His securities credentials include Series 63 and Series 79 licenses.

Hidden talent: Chris can play the bagpipes but is a bit rusty from lack of practice time.

On a Saturday you can find Chris… at the gym, ballpark, or field with his wife, Rachel, as they keep up with their three young boys aged 9,7 and 3.

What does he love most about his role?  Getting to the finish line, after a lot of hard work and emotion, knowing we not only helped owners realized their life-changing goals but have also developed a life-long relationship with them and their team.
