Bio
Grey Seymour
I am consistently blown away by Mike's two most notable and complementary traits: tremendous EQ meets whip-smart business acumen. His ability to evaluate investments is only superseded by his commitment to portfolio companies, business partners, and friends. As a business operator in the growth marketing and tech space, I am hard pressed to imagine a better man to have in my corner. Mike is holistically emblematic of Social Starts, if not Silicon Valley itself - makers and experts teaming to to meaningfully disrupt promising and emergent sectors. I hope to work with Mike more in the future on our shared goal of pushing SV ingenuity and resource to the rest of the country - empowering the next generation of creators and business leaders. Tangentially, he also has notable taste in coffee. If you're considering a coffee meeting to talk about his realism-tempered prescience for the future of tech, then only one question persists: why haven't you scheduled yet?

When I think back to the people I've worked with from whom I've learned the most, Mike is always first in line. You can almost see his mind at work all the time. I've seen him solve problems in two minutes that others had struggled over for hours.He simply cuts through the crap. He'd be the first person I'd want in my corner if I were starting a new company or job.
