Erik Stettler

Prior to joining Toptal in February 2020, Stettler most recently served as founding partner of Firstrock Capital, building and overseeing a portfolio of 50 tech startups for the global venture capital fund. Stettler only invested in companies that embraced global recruiting and remote work, an approach that he described as investing in talent, not real estate.

Stettler, who previously worked as a data scientist and financial economist, has helped the global financial community respond to major market upheavals. He specializes in the dynamics of extreme risk and reward for startups and large companies seeking to reinvent themselves. Stettler earned an MBA with distinction from Harvard Business School.
