Go-to-Market Software

First Round Capital

Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range is published for Brett.

Brett studies how thousands of small choices compound into an exceptional company. He backs very early builders with contrarian insight and an outlier capability, then works at the decision level rather than prescribing the finished product. His disclosed investments—Clay, Stedi, and Persona—show an interest in foundational B2B workflows: flexible go-to-market tooling, healthcare eligibility and claims APIs, and identity verification.

Craft Ventures

Check: No Mike-specific check range is public. Craft's official portfolio attributes angel/seed, venture and growth investments to him, but financing totals and round labels are not his check size. Confirm vehicle, ownership target, reserves and lead appetite directly.

Mike invests in enterprise software and AI products that deliver fast, legible value to an end user and can expand from bottom-up adoption into durable enterprise systems. His work links product architecture to buying behavior: a focused AI stack, proprietary retrieval and data access, excellent productization, a clear ideal customer profile and a repeatable go-to-market motion are more important than a broad market map or generic AI label.
