Scott Lopano
Partner, TECH SQUARE VENUTRES
Scott is a Partner at Tech Square Ventures where he leads the investment team and co-investment network, while overseeing the internship and EIR programs at the firm.
Scott has had a passion for building high performing teams from a young age, where he was most often found on the soccer or football field. He attended The University of Pennsylvania where he studied Finance at Wharton and was the four-year starting punter & kicker for Penn Football. After three Ivy League championships and a few NFL tryouts, he hung up his cleats for a career in finance and joined the Investment Banking group at UBS in New York City. He covered insurance companies and banks and helped his clients raise $26B in preferred stock and debt capital during his time.
Following UBS, Scott joined Tech Square Ventures to pursue a passion in building a firm, supporting entrepreneurs at the early stage, and investing in the future of the Southeast. Scott was the first hire and originally led all transactions at the firm, established the firm’s investment process, and built the infrastructure needed to scale.
With three young kids at home, outside the office you can find Scott between the soccer fields and trying out new cocktail recipes with his wife. He’s also an active member of the Atlanta startup community, sitting on the board of Venture Atlanta and helping founders at Atlanta Tech Village as a mentor.
