Investment Thesis

PSL Ventures invests in founders with passion and heart, building tech-driven, industry-shaping businesses. As founders themselves who have built market-defining companies, the team is ‘addicted to helping other exceptional founders do the same.’ Their approach emphasizes understanding each entrepreneur’s distinct qualities and superpowers, then assembling the perfect supporting team to create world-changing companies. The investment thesis is fundamentally founder-centric, recognizing that great companies require extraordinary people combined with smart capital.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Founder-led team with extensive operational and exit experience across the Pacific Northwest over 20 years
  • Dual offering: venture fund separate from but complementary to PSL Studio, providing founders access to engineers, data scientists, marketers, designers, recruiters, and operations support
  • Willingness to invest at extremely early stages - 'Nothing is too early for us to consider. Really. We have written term sheets for entrepreneurs before they even have a deck.'
  • High-touch, ecosystem-based support model treating portfolio companies 'like family'
  • Technical Advisory Board featuring world-class experts including AI2 CEO, Kubernetes founders, and Microsoft leaders
  • Strong track record with 60+ companies built/invested, many acquired by Fortive and other strategic buyers
