I’m Luke. It’s great to meet you. Tubergen Ventures is my personal investment platform that was put together in 2015. I got my start in banking, followed by time in private equity, and have ultimately found myself in the wonderful world of venture. I appreciate the relational, inspirational, and innovative aspects of the industry. In the past few years, I’ve also started to build a real estate portfolio.

I live in the Nashville, Tennessee with my wife Diandra, our kids Zoey, Jude, Scout, and River. I found myself in Nashville by way of New York City, and grew up in West Michigan.

I make 3-5 investments a year. Tubergen Ventures is where I pursue investments outside my day-to-day job. I participate mostly in (but by no means limited to) seed or series A. I am a managing partner at The Ember Company where we invest in consumer companies. However, Tubergen Ventures is reserved for my personal investments.

I am based in Nashville but my investments span the United Staes. I am in NYC regularly, I spend a decent amount of time in Michigan and Florida, and also travel to the west coast or London occasionally.

I invest to help create a better world and as a way to earn money. I see my investing as a means to create a positive and meaningful impact for my family, neighborhood, country, and world. I expect to be rewarded for the risks and to enjoy the ride.
