Aaron Stachel invests or supports investments through FirstMile Ventures's published strategy: Be the first institutional investor in promising technology companies emerging from Colorado, Texas and other large non-coastal startup ecosystems.
Resourceful early founders with local ecosystem advantage, a large market and evidence that a company outside the coasts can build category leadership.
