Of Founders, By Founders and For Founders
The greatest testament to the value, and values, of Startup Haven are the founders and investors who give generously of their time to support our mission.

When I first met Andy, I immediately was taken in by his quick wit, natural curiosity and ever-present smile. A rare combination of thinker and doer, you would be fortunate to have Andy on your team or at your table.
Thank you, Andy.
Rob is a serial startup founder and international traveler. He is adjunct host of Seattle Startup Haven events and has his bag packed in case any other cities need help hosting.
Brandon is a Serial Entrepreneur with a passion for community and a love for Poker. Additionally, Brandon writes for his publication #Startupfood as well as hosts monthly meetups with his group 5-9PDX.
Tyler was the spark that set the engine of growth in motion for Startup Haven. All those years ago, when Tyler moved from Seattle to Portland, he recognized the value that Startup Haven could bring to founder community everywhere. Without his vision and dedication to the Portland startup community, there’s no telling when (or even if) Startup Haven would have fledged outside of Seattle.
Thank you, Tyler.
I recently described Danielle to a VC as being “great at poker.” He responded that “Danelle is great at a lot of things.” I think that sums it up pretty well. One of the things she is great at is being a kind and generous person. Danielle’s help made all the difference in the world and ensured that Startup Haven would get off on the right foot in San Francisco.
Thank you, Danielle.
