"We love being trusted partners at the earliest stages - when things are hard and scary, that's where we thrive."
What founders have to say
"Every founder needs an investor that's in the trenches alongside them. Someone with a pulse on the industry. Someone to share ideas with and get an immediate reply, whether it's first thing in the morning or last thing at night. Someone who can step in and fight when it's needed most. We're proud to be backed by Bonfire and incredibly fortunate to call Tyler a member of our team."
Gil Hildebrand, CEO & Co-Founder, Gilded
Bio
I have been working with software startups at the intersection of product and go-to-market for almost a decade. I have operating experience shaping sales strategy from nascence to growth at EverString, a venture-backed predictive analytics solution for sales and marketing teams (acquired by ZoomInfo), and TechValidate, a bootstrapped customer intelligence company (acquired by SurveyMonkey). Both were exciting opportunities that had their own challenges. I seek to bring the lessons from those experiences to every team I back, helping them navigate the idea maze, identify early leverage, and see around corners to avoid setbacks and mistakes when possible. Getting in the trenches with these founders to work through hard problems and elusive questions, oftentimes with no “right” answers, is the best and most fulfilling part of this job.
Before entering the world of software, I worked across the Motion Pictures + Business Development teams at Creative Artists Agency, a place that helped me develop a service-centered approach to helping founders build a lasting business.
I attended USC for undergrad and earned an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I live in Seattle with my wife, our very mobile set of twins, and our 90 lb. Great Pyranese rescue with zero sense of spatial awareness or her size. I’m a die hard 49er fan who is tricked into believing “this could be the year” annually.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
What it's like to work with me?
I love working shoulder to shoulder piecing together strategy and defining the underlying tactics that will make a company successful. It’s hard work for founding teams; having the opportunity to get in the trenches with them and take some of that work on is the best, most satisfying part of this crazy job.
Interesting fact
I spent a summer in Wilmington, NC filming the fourth season of Eastbound and Down. Taking those stories to the grave.
