Finding The Right VC For Your Company

Finding the appropriate VC to invest in your company requires personal due diligence on behalf of the company founder. However sometimes if you are located in Oregon the answer to your investor questions may be a quick glance up toward the sky. Wayne Embree of Cascadia Partners is an avid pilot and has been flying high both as a pilot and a VC for over 20 years.

Last week prior to the upcoming Bend Venture Conference, American Venture Magazine had a chance to catch up with Wayne Embree while he was grounded in his Portland office.

As always we like to know a little bit about the career development of the VCs we speak with. Embree shared with us that he was in charge of an Oregon state chartered seed fund in the early 1980’s and his career blossomed from there. Embree has backed nearly 100 companies over the years with about 50% of those companies coming out of major universities.
