About

Daniel Portillo is a co-founder of The General Partnership (TheGP), a venture firm launched in 2018 around a model that pairs capital with hands-on operating work — offering founders embedded support across talent, go-to-market, and engineering through a "sweat equity" model. He has been directly involved in incubating companies inside the firm, including working with TheGP's first engineer, Matt Amacker, on how to build and ship software for the government faster, which led to the founding of defense-tech company TurbineOne. TheGP typically leads pre-seed and seed rounds and makes 10-15 investments per year with check sizes ranging from $1M to $30M+.
