Founded in 1999, Draper Triangle recently closed its second fund

mergers and capital raising functions.

Prior to Draper Triangle, Mike co-founded and served as vice president,

where he led the company in raising over $15 million in growth
capital from strategic partners and nationally known venture capital
organizations prior to its merger with a division of AT&T in
