Placing Founders at the Center of Your Efforts: Miles Lasater of Purpose-Built Ventures Founder & Funder Experience

Today’s guest is Miles Lasater, serial founder turned investor and the founding partner at Purpose Built Ventures. As a founder, he helped Higher One scale to over $200MM in revenue and eventually, a public offering. 
Today, Miles’ VC fund is focused on investing very early (pre-seed or seed) in companies that improve human wellbeing, expand economic opportunity, and improve the public sphere— Atlas, Remix, Edvo, and Notable to name a few. In his words, “... companies that are purpose-driven, and that are solving key challenges facing all of us.”
In this podcast episode, Miles shares his journey as a founder turned investor and illuminates insights from having experience on both sides of the venture capital marketplace! 
As a human being, Miles is simply someone you feel you can trust— he is grounded, honest, and emotionally intelligent— experience him for yourself! :) 

“You’re also more fundamentally a service provider to entrepreneurs, and they are the center of the story. And they are the ones that are doing the hard stuff— solving the problems, building the companies etc. And so it's so fun to be a part of multiple stories.”
