Eric Klose

Eric is the founder of Ground Squirrel Ventures.
He got his start at Wayfair as a customer service rep when the company was below 10 employees, and grew with the company through its IPO.
In his time there, he oversaw functions in sales, marketing, customer acquisition and retention, UX, UI, international expansion and pricing algorithms and more, acting as SVP of Global Sales & Marketing and leading Wayfair’s international expansion.
After Wayfair’s IPO, he left to get back to the smaller, earlier stages of business building that inspired him with a focus on climate mitigation and making the world a more just and equitable place for all people.
