Managing Director
Portland Seed FundCheck size: Portland Seed Fund describes a strategy of relatively small early-stage investments but does not publish one current standard check-size range.
Steve Eichenlaub contributes to Portland Seed Fund's published strategy: Back capital-efficient early-stage companies in Portland and the Pacific Northwest, with the current Intrepid Oregon Fund leaning toward deep technology.
The firm's public strategy favors founders and companies closely aligned with Deep Tech, Climate Tech, Healthcare at Pre-Seed and Seed stages. No separate personal preference is claimed without first-party evidence.
No person-specific pass list is public. Opportunities outside Portland Seed Fund's stated stages, sectors or geographic mandate are less likely to fit the published strategy.
Show clear fit with Portland Seed Fund's Pre-Seed/Seed mandate, explain the problem and defensibility, provide evidence of traction appropriate to the stage, and state the financing need and use of funds.
