Expertise

Henry Buckingham is a VP at Unusual, where he backs insightful founders building in AI infrastructure, DevTools, and cybersecurity. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Henry developed a passion for selling from a young age: detailing cars, stringing lacrosse sticks, and mowing lawns before he could drive. That instinct carried into six years of go-to-market roles at Harness, Cockroach Labs, and Edge Delta, selling complex products to technical buyers. He now brings that same lens to the founders he backs, helping them sharpen their GTM as they scale.

Past Employment

Book Recommendation

Shoe Dog, the Phil Knight Memoir. A masterclass in the grit and persistence required to sell in the early days!

Go-to podcast

How I Built This, by Guy Raz. I’ve found it to be the most honest look at the highs and lows of building a company, including the near-failures founders don’t usually talk about.

Big Fan Of

Surfing, snowboarding, cycling, and pretty much every other outdoor activity that lets me enjoy California in all its glory.
