About

Newth Morris co-founded Telogis and helped grow it from the ground up into a global fleet-telematics platform that was sold to Verizon. He is a co-founder of Ankona, a firm that writes first checks of $5–10M into B2B software companies with $3–15M in ARR that have proven product-market fit, strong retention, and an efficient path to growth. Ankona emphasizes backing founders past product-market fit but before full scale, and looks for "AI-first" operating characteristics. Along with his partner Jared, Morris built, financed, scaled, and exited B2B software companies, with the two collectively raising more than $150M and generating over $1.5B of exit value.
