Companies Our Team Founded
Jeannie Tarkenton
Founder & CEO, Funding U
"Miles is an ideal investor for a start-up founder because he brings equal parts empathy and objectivity. His feedback and advice are clear-eyed, never sugar coated. He also listens - really listens - and because of this he offers insightful observations and makes laser-focused introductions. He clearly values and understands the unique kind of human who is crazy and passionate enough to start a company."
Nate Sigworth
Founder & CEO, PharmaCCX
"Miles is a thought partner in a way only another entrepreneur can be. As an investor he respects my vision and execution, yet helps me level up by bringing his network and creative enthusiasm to the challenges we discuss."
Jenny Xia Spradling
Founder & CEO, FreeWill
“With most investors, you are promised the world before the deal closes, and get very little after. With Miles, it's the complete opposite. We were blown away by how much value Miles added after he became one of our seed investors. Whether business model, team and culture, or sales and customer support, he asks the right questions, and gives tactical advice grounded in his experience building a public company."
Pranay Kapadia
Founder & CEO, Notable Health
"Being an entrepreneur turned investor, Miles has been the go to person for our team from founding through scaling. He’s always found the right balance between being supportive of ideas, helping with customer and investor connections and bringing healthy criticism for challenges he foresees down the road. In short, he’s helped us be better in every interaction. Miles is who you want to have by your side as you build your company."
