Steve Felter is a Venture Partner at Berkeley Frontier Fund who built his career as a hands-on operator rather than a traditional investor, having helped grow DigiSynd through its acquisition by Disney, worked on media deals at Warner Bros., run Disney's first in-house social media division, led GameSalad's push into no-code game creation, and later became CEO of Guild Extracts during the early days of California's legal cannabis market. He's also a longtime mentor across UC Berkeley's startup community, known for giving founders practical, budget-conscious advice on things like customer acquisition and navigating different company stages.
