Over the last sixty years, and beginning with the first Griffin Brothers Tire store in 1961, the Griffins have built a family of wonderful businesses serving the Southeast. ZoomUp is a continuation of that history, empowering entrepreneurs (we call them ”Zoomers”) to acquire great businesses and build upon the prior owner’s legacy.

We provide the capital, mentorship and experience to help Zoomers acquire, protect and grow one great company.

We are not a private equity fund— we are an entrepreneurial family business using our own capital to buy great companies and grow them over the long term.

Before joining ZoomUp, Victor spent time at:

  FullStory, a software business in Atlanta, working with the CFO to manage the P&L, expand into new territories, and raise capital for further growth

  Alvarez & Marsal, a global management consulting firm headquartered in New York, focusing on operations improvement and turnaround situations

Victor received his undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia and is currently earning his MBA from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

In his spare time he likes to play golf, (try to) keep up with his better half, watch Georgia football games and grill out with friends. Victor’s family has deep entrepreneurial and community roots in Atlanta – his then-widowed grandmother started a private nurse staffing business in the 1950s, and his mother started the first Christian school for children with learning disabilities in the city. Both businesses continue to thrive to this day, and their success has inspired Victor to pursue his own entrepreneurial endeavors.
