Phillip Weinstein is the dedicated entrepreneur behind Atropates Capital. His work is centered on finding and enhancing the operational excellence of one small to medium-sized business.
Born and raised in New York, Phillip was deeply influenced by his parents, who immigrated from the former Soviet Union republics of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. His upbringing in a Russian speaking household rich in diverse cultures and traditions instilled in him the values of hard work and resilience. His father and mother, navigating their new life in America, exemplified the tireless immigrant work ethic by starting and running their own business together, which became a fundamental aspect of Phillip's personal and professional life.
Phillip's academic journey began at Wake Forest University, where his entrepreneurial spirit was sparked when he co-ran Wake Wash, a laundry and dry-cleaning service that he expanded significantly before selling after graduation. He later completed a MS in Commerce at the University of Virginia and an MBA/MA in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
Phillip’s professional experiences are diverse, including work in investment banking, consulting, and growth equity. Each role has reinforced his expertise in financial valuation, strategic planning, and performance optimization.
Phillip is committed to connecting with and supporting business owners in navigating the challenges of growth and operational scaling. He previously worked with a variety of companies that have grown both in the United States and abroad. He is here to share his journey, listen to yours, and explore potential synergies that can lead to sustained success and legacy.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Phillip is an avid traveler and passionate runner, often combining the two to find races in cities he’s never been. He is currently training with the goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
Atropates Capital is backed by investors and operators who bring decades of expertise in managing and nurturing companies to their full potential. Phillip will be exclusively committed to your one business and will receive dedicated guidance from his Partners.
