Summary
Nick Lockett is a technical, people-focused entrepreneur and fund manager based in California with a decade of experience building and scaling software products and teams. As Co-Founder and CTO of Pear Suite he has combined engineering leadership with healthcare product design to make social care navigation simple, scalable, and patient-centered, and now invests in early-stage startups at Stairs Ventures. His background spans cloud and data platforms—from Azure Managed Disks and SoundCommerce’s operations data stack to embedded security at Galois—bringing deep systems and infrastructure expertise to product problems.
