Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Glennon is a computational geographer-turned-founder and venture investor with 13 years of experience building geospatial software, advising startups, and running early-stage investment operations from San Francisco. He founded Roadcut after leading location-analysis startup Arogi—where he wrote thousands of lines of Python and JavaScript, secured NSF funding, and conducted 150 customer interviews—bringing a rare blend of hands-on engineering and domain research. Alan has evaluated and structured deals for rolling funds and SPVs, supported underrepresented founders at FirstMoney.In, and served as a venture partner and analyst across multiple firms. His academic pedigree (Ph.D. in Computational Geography) and a publication record with high citation impact inform a data-driven approach to product strategy and due diligence. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable in code, scholarly work, and the boardroom, with a knack for turning spatial insight into investable opportunities.
