Vic Gatto is a partner in the Nashville venture capital firm Solidus, which funds a variety of startup companies involved in three industries: health care, technology and media/information.

It invests in very small companies — typically run by just two or three entrepreneurs — just as the owners begin to run through money raised from friends and family sources or other initial startup cash.
