Steve Eichenlaub

Steve has been associated with PSF since 2014 as a limited partner in PSF II and III, and brings extensive venture capital, startup operating, and M&A experience to his role as Managing Director of Portland Seed Fund IV. Previously, he was COO at M-SIX, a Portland-based SaaS startup, helping grow the company up to and beyond its successful exit. Ahead of that, for over a decade he was a Managing Director in Intel Capital, leading and managing the strategy, deal structuring and post-investment efforts on over 100 investments tied to the strategic interests of Intel Labs. He then worked inside Intel Labs applying seed startup concepts to convert raw technologies into viable prototypes with a compelling business value proposition that would then “exit” to an Intel product group.
