Hugo is the COO at Starship, where he has been instrumental in building the venture capital firm since early 2022. Alongside Founder and General Partner Sean Hoge, they successfully raised over $30 million for Starship’s debut fund, establishing the firm as a prominent force in early-stage deep tech venture capital. At Starship, Hugo manages operations and cultivates relationships with the firm’s capital partners, leveraging his extensive background in public markets and venture capital.Prior to joining Starship, Hugo spent nine years in public markets, where he led operations and sales teams on the sell-side. He later transitioned to Square Global Markets, where he became a key liquidity provider for exotic and hybrid equity derivative products. His work enabled investment banks to manage and recycle risk in the inter-dealer broker market, further enhancing his reputation for navigating complex financial instruments and completing transactions.
Sean is a serial entrepreneur, technologist, and investor with deep expertise in product development and market insights. In 2012, he co-founded Crossfader.fm, which was backed by Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, and Google Ventures. He later joined NVOLV as Head of Product, a mobile app provider for events.
Disillusioned by the limitations of software, Sean shifted his focus to the convergence of bits and atoms. Since 2016, he has been an active advisor and angel investor. After achieving financial independence through personal investments, he launched an alpha test fund in 2018, which evolved into Starship Ventures. As the visionary behind Starship, Sean was the first believer in companies now backed by Sequoia, Khosla Ventures, a16z, Lower Carbon, Lux, Valor and more. Notable Starship portfolio companies include Pipedream Labs, Reflect Orbital, Atmos, BRINC, and Rainmaker.
