Ian Douglas, Angel Investor

I build executive & engineering teams at pre-IPO & enterprise technology companies across North America. I work primarily with founders & executives at Series B-E (pre-IPO) and acquired hypergrowth startups (with close ties to San Francisco) backed by Google/Andreessen/Sequoia & Instagram/Uber Founders, as well as several of the largest technology companies globally. Most are working on complex products involving SaaS, e-commerce, big data, IoT, distributed systems, machine learning, computer vision, and artificial intelligence and have some of the highest engineering standards, so this value proposition has resonated heavily with many top executives. I try to approach my profession as a modern technology consultant - continually learning as much as I can about the overall tech industry. On top of the capital, providing rare value-add to entrepreneurs with our ability to quickly attract & build teams comprised of the best executives & engineers in the main startup hubs, primarily Pacific Northwest , Silicon Valley & New York. - Angel investments in high-potential startups. Also open to participating in seed rounds. - Investment focus on leadership background vs product ideas. - Strong preference for B2B products & early traction.
