Gregory John Mazanec

On July 18, 2019, in Washington, DC. Husband of Elaine Kouroupas Mazanec; father of George Mazanec. He is survived by his parents, Dr. Polly Mazanec and Dr. Daniel Mazanec (Charleston, SC); and his three siblings and their spouses: Daniel Mazanec and Daniella Rezai (Miami, FL); Brian and Abby Mazanec (Fairfax, VA) and Sarah (Mazanec) Verga and Jared Verga (Suffolk, VA).

Greg was a partner at the venture capital firm QED Investors, where he used his extraordinary talents and infectious enthusiasm to help early stage companies grow and thrive. Greg graduated from Vanderbilt University and managed the sales team at LivingSocial before joining QED. Greg loved WWII history, mentoring, and reading to his son. He lived every day full speed ahead and didn’t miss a damn thing. He will be missed terribly.
