Taiga Ventures operates at the pre-seed stage supporting Alaska-based, Alaska-impact, and Arctic-impact startups. With the rapidly changing arctic and sub-arctic environment, this region is at the forefront of innovation and opportunity. Many of the solutions that are pioneered here have applications across the United States and around the world. And this region is home to some of the most resilient, innovative, and unique thinkers in the world.

 

The relatively underdeveloped investor ecosystem in this region represents another opportunity, which Taiga Ventures founding partners Mark and Jake are ideally positioned to capture. Operating at the bleeding edge, Taiga has first a first mover advantage and has access to nearly 100% of the Alaska deal flow. 

 

Taiga Ventures investments also leverage Mark and Jake’s expertise: deep tech commercialization, IP protection and management, high tech, and accessing non-dilutive capital. We play integral roles in the Alaska startup ecosystem and add value by making connections to startup communities elsewhere. We’ve managed the Alaska Seed Fund and Alaska Angel Conference, have started multiple companies and been early employees at others, and manage highly advanced IP portfolios. Our complementary skills and networks, and your support and partnership as an investor, are creating a more sustainable arctic and sub-arctic environment.
