About Investor

Mike Speiser is a venture capitalist at Sutter Hill Ventures with a strong company-creation orientation. He is known for working closely with technical founders and, in some cases, helping incubate companies before traditional seed formation. His focus is especially relevant to enterprise software, AI, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, cybersecurity, and developer technology. Their background is particularly relevant to founders building AI, machine-learning, data, and infrastructure products. They bring perspective on the technical and commercial challenges involved in turning complex technology into products that customers can adopt at scale. Their experience can be useful around product strategy, technical differentiation, enterprise adoption, hiring, and building defensible data or platform advantages. For founders, that combination of technical fluency and company-building experience can provide valuable context as an emerging technology moves from experimentation to a scalable business.
