Alex Ray invests or supports investments through Pioneer Square Labs's published strategy: Build companies in the PSL studio and invest early across the Pacific Northwest, often before incorporation or a pitch deck, with hands-on founder support.
Show the founder insight, Pacific Northwest connection, problem, earliest validation and whether the best fit is studio co-creation or a PSL Ventures investment.
Exceptional founders, hard problems, strong regional connections and ideas that benefit from rapid company-building, product and fundraising execution.
The venture fund emphasizes very early Pacific Northwest companies; later-stage companies or teams without a meaningful regional connection are less aligned.
