Steve Sigmond is an entrepreneur who has worked with emerging technology companies for more than 25 years. As co-founder and CFO of Minneapolis-based health data analytics firm Carrot Health, he has guided the company’s 100-plus percent year-over-year revenue growth over the last four years.

Sigmond’s extensive background in venture capital—including a partnership at Stillwater-based BlueStream Ventures, where he advised portfolio companies and sourced investment opportunities—gives him a perspective different from most startup founders; he learned that capital raised is not a good measure of success. With this in mind, he focuses on revenue growth at Carrot Health.
