Minda Brusse, Founding Partner
Minda Brusse has been in the startup ecosystem for over 25 years. In her early career, she was a lynchpin employee at a $39M venture-backed company acquired by Accenture. She continued to find her way into co-founder and leadership roles during early applications of new technology in SaaS software distribution, user generated content, consumer payments, and blockchain.
Minda found that a key lever in enabling innovation came from the capital that fuels it; and she dug deep -- honing her skills as an investor and fund manager. She now contributes her time and talent at the University of Washington teaching hands-on investing and entrepreneurship courses in the Foster School MBA program.
During the pandemic, she co-founded The 1K Project to help families in need, raising $3.3M for 1,100 families to receive cash grants. She is a sustaining member of Seattle organizations Seattle Art Museum Supporters (SAMS) and the Junior League of Seattle.
