Tyler Churchill

Seed-stage, founder‑focused investor concentrated on B2B vertical software and applied AI. Tyler sources and leads seed investments that target legacy or niche industries where application-layer software and AI create disproportionate leverage. He emphasizes deep domain understanding and founder‑first partnership across diligence and go-to-market support. bonfirevc+2

Operator-to-investor background with hands-on GTM and sales experience. Prior sales and operations roles at TechValidate and EverString (both later acquired) give him practical credibility advising early-stage go‑to‑market motions, sales hiring, and revenue model refinement for portfolio companies. bonfirevc+1
