First and foremost we look for a passionate and well rounded team. We look for a team we can really help, whether through technical recruiting or business strategy.
If you have a start-up in Cloud Computing, AI, Speech and Natural Language, Machine Learning and IoT AND have a passionate and well-rounded team in the Pacific Northwest we'd love to talk to you..
Our Story
Flying Fish Ventures brings together three partners who have contributed to the Seattle tech scene for over 25 years. Geoff and Frank met while working together at Microsoft, where they worked together on Speech and Natural Language Processing. Later, Frank went on to work as a Director at Amazon. Heather, meanwhile, began her career as a corporate lawyer and went on to become an executive at PhotoDisc and Getty Images.
United by a shared belief in Seattleās tech talent, lack of access to venture capital, and an excitement for AI and Machine Learning, we decided to band together and form Flying Fish Ventures.
Named after the famous and quintessentially Seattle fish throwers at Pike Place Market, we decided to focus on early stage, Pacific Northwest-based, artificial intelligence and machine learning startups.
We believe there is no better place today to build a new technolgy giant than the Pacific Northwest. If you agree and have a big idea, we want to talk.
