Co-Founder & Partner

2012 - Current

9Mile Labs is a micro-VC firm based in Seattle, WA. We partner with the top startup accelerators around the country to meet their startups and invest in their most promising B2B startups. We typically invest $50-100k chunks into pre-seed rounds. When a trusted member of our network makes an introduction to us, we work hard to arrive at a "Yes" or "No" investment decision quickly. We believe telling an entrepreneur "Maybe" is the worst thing an investor can say. Please send promising B2B startups my way!
