VentureSouth, one of the largest angel investment groups in the country, is pleased to announce that Alex Biermann has been promoted to Principal.

Biermann joined VentureSouth in 2021 as Portfolio Manager. In that role, Alex has been responsible for monitoring the performance of VentureSouth’s investments, which currently number over 60 live companies, gathering information from the companies and keeping their investors fully informed. He has also provided invaluable services helping the portfolio companies in many areas, serving as one of the key conduits between the 550+ members of VentureSouth and the companies they seek to assist.

With this promotion, Biermann has expanded his role to include supervising the due diligence efforts on new investments being considered by VentureSouth members and funds. Supported by the rest of the VentureSouth team, Biermann now serves an important dual role in the evaluation and support of portfolio companies, from entering the portfolio to exit.

Matt Dunbar, Managing Director of VentureSouth, stated in a press release: “Alex has been a major contributor to the VentureSouth team over the last three years, serving both investors and companies as a conduit of information and ideas. We are excited about expanding Alex’s challenges and look forward to his continued success.”

Biermann began his career on the development team of a national nonprofit based in Washington, DC, before transitioning to finance. He earned a Bachelor’s in Government from Patrick Henry College and his MBA (with a concentration in Corporate Finance / Investment Banking) at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. Biermann lives in Fayetteville, N.C.
