Mile-12's team is made up of advisors, investors and business leaders who have partnered with hundreds of businesses over the past 30 years. We have either founded businesses ourselves or sat in the CEO/Board Seat of fast growing businesses.
Cumulatively, we have also invested over $1 billion dollars in founders and firmly believe in the power of sustainable business growth via a combination of financial, intellectual and social capital.
