INDIANAPOLIS, IN, Feb. 24, 2026 – Intrepid, a leading technology capital access platform providing growth capital for service-based businesses, announced the addition of Ashley Bryan and Wolf Starr to its Venture Capital & Startup Ecosystems Strategy Architect team.

Intrepid’s continued investment in a technology-forward capital ecosystem improves efficiency, precision, and connectivity for high-growth companies and their capital partners. The proprietary platform leverages automated financial onboarding, real-time analytics, and structured capital-matching algorithms to streamline decisions. By integrating revenue intelligence with investor-driven data, Intrepid enhances visibility into capital deployment and expands founders’ access to the full capital stack.

Their addition strengthens our ability to serve founders and institutional partners with precision, speed, and transparency.”
