Michael Tam is a partner at Craft Ventures who brings an unusually deep operator background, having managed Uber's Southern California markets and launched L., a direct-to-consumer personal care brand that was acquired by Procter & Gamble. He's based in Los Angeles with an explicit focus on the SoCal tech ecosystem and serves on the investment committee of the USC Marshall Fund, emphasizing his belief that the best LA founders often come directly from the industry they're disrupting.

Notable Investments
Craft Ventures is founded and led by repeat unicorn founders from the "PayPal Mafia" and other iconic startups, including David Sacks of PayPal/Yammer/Zenefits, giving the fund an unusually dense operator-founder pedigree relative to most VC firms. The fund has popularized a detailed, metrics-driven B2B SaaS "playbook" and publishes a transparent "investment framework" with specific quantitative efficiency benchmarks that founders can reverse-engineer, functioning as much as an operator-education brand as a capital provider.
