Jeff Wesley runs an unusually integrated venture platform at Michigan Rise that spans from idea creation through multiple funding stages to non-dilutive working capital, overseeing four different programs simultaneously while managing one of the Great Lakes' most active early-stage portfolios with over 200 companies and 20-30 investments per quarter. He has architected first-of-their-kind Michigan-focused funds including a $10.6M evergreen fund that recycles returns back into the state and a $10M healthcare fund with Henry Ford Health that pairs capital with direct clinical access, while using non-traditional tools like Purchase Order Financing to help startups bridge from early revenue to bankability.
