About West Mountain Ventures

West Mountain Ventures helps founders build, scale, and exit — with clarity, speed, and capital efficiency.We bring over 30 years of operator experience navigating paradigm shifts across emerging industries. From the early internet to sustainability to AI, we’ve consistently identified and scaled opportunities before they become obvious.Why We’re Different
Our founder-led model combines deep consumer tech expertise with hands-on execution. We've co-founded pioneering e-commerce and enterprise software ventures, scaled NextWorth Solutions into an $82M recommerce platform — achieving Inc. 500 recognition and over $1.5M in revenue per employee — and partnered with major retailers like Target, leading OEMs, and wireless carriers to launch award-winning electronics trade-in programs. We also led corporate incubation and business model innovation at Bose across multiple divisions.
We understand both sides: how to build early-stage ventures from zero — and how to bring structure to innovation inside complex enterprises. This dual perspective lets us bridge the gap between startup agility and enterprise scale.AI-Native Execution
We partner with founders, venture studios, and institutions to reimagine how companies are built and scaled — using AI as a force multiplier for validation, acquisition, and operational leverage.
We’re applying these same principles to our own CPG venture, focused on performance, sustainability, and storytelling. We practice what we preach.Ecosystem Approach
As active angel investors with TBD Angels and strategic advisors to STS Capital, we operate within a connected ecosystem of capital, talent, and high-value partnerships. We collaborate with institutional partners and venture studios on founder pipelines and co-investment opportunities.
When you work with West Mountain Ventures, you’re not just getting advice — you’re tapping into a network built for growth-stage success.Real operator experience. AI-native execution. No fluff.
