ABOUTAn operator's read on enterprise software.
Michael is a Managing Partner at Trajectory Capital, where he focuses on growth-stage investments in B2B enterprise software — the systems that quietly run finance, operations, and infrastructure teams inside the world's companies.
Before Trajectory, he spent over a decade in operating and investing roles across enterprise software, working closely with founders on go-to-market strategy, capital structure, and the long stretch between product-market fit and category leadership.
He sits on the boards of several Trajectory portfolio companies and advises founders on scaling revenue teams, structuring later-stage rounds, and preparing for a durable exit.
