Colin Greenspon

Venture capitalist and co-founder of Narya

Background

Colin Greenspon trained as a lawyer, attending Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia School of Law, then worked at international law firms.

Career and institutions

His investment career included Mithril Capital Management and Revolution before co-founding Narya, an Ohio-linked early-stage venture capital firm in 2020. Contemporary event materials describe the firm’s launch involving JD Vance and Peter Thiel.

Recent and documented role

Narya lists Greenspon among its leaders. A venture-fund ownership or employment tie should not be translated into government decision authority without separate records.

Training and professional trajectory

Greenspon's background includes legal training at the University of Virginia School of Law following study at Dartmouth College. He moved from legal work into venture capital, with posts linked to Mithril Capital Management and Revolution before helping establish Narya with JD Vance. The firm's early capital raising drew attention because Peter Thiel invested in the initial fund; a fund investment is not the same as management of Narya or Vance's later government responsibilities.

Greenspon appears in the firm's publicly listed leadership. That current professional affiliation, the founding relationship with Vance and Thiel's historical investor role are separately identified connections, not evidence that the three hold identical investment positions today.
