# GlobeSherpa cofounder Nat Parker joins Elevate Capital as entrepreneur in residence

This morning, [The Oregonian is reporting](https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2019/09/nat-parker-globesherpas-founder-will-be-portland-entrepreneur-in-residence-from-berlin.html) that Nat Parker, cofounder of Portland startup GlobeSherpa which was acquired by Daimler, is joining Elevate Capital as an entrepreneur in residence. \[UPDATE: [And I just caught Malia’s post on it, too](https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2019/09/25/portland-founder-nat-parker-joins-venture-capital.html).\] But there’s eine kleine twist.

> Nat Parker, the Portland entrepreneur who helped start the mobile transit ticketing service GlobeSherpa, is moving to Berlin while his German wife awaits a green card. But from the other side of the world Parker said he will continue mentoring Oregon startups as entrepreneur-in-residence at the Portland investment firm Elevate Capital.

“Nat is an incredible entrepreneur who combines a high level of passion and drive with the ability to learn quickly and motivate teams around difficult tasks,” Nitin Rai, Managing Director of Elevate Capital, said in a written statement. “We are proud to support him in his next company and excited to see wheat he comes up with next.”
