It’s not by chance that Lock 8 is named after an innovation that was developed to accelerate movement and catalyze growth. Just as locks across the mid-Atlantic propelled commerce in 1800s America, we at Lock 8 similarly aim to use experience, know-how, resources and networks as a fulcrum to support our portfolio companies, preparing them for the next stages of their journeys. And just as the locks of the C&O Canal found new life and value when transformed into a national park in the 1970s, we use renewed thinking, energy, and execution to help Lock 8 portfolio companies evolve as best-in-class SaaS businesses.
