Howdy, I'm Tyler — first and foremost a husband and father in a tribe called Hogge.
I'm a Partner at Pelion, where I lead Seed and Series A investments in exceptional startups.
Previously I led the product and risk organizations at Divvy (acquired by BILL for $2.5B), product teams at Wealthfront ($WLTH, $1.5B market cap), interned at a16z, and led sales at Clearwater ($CWAN, $7B market cap).
I graduated in finance from SUU (the MIT of Southern Utah, where I was captain of the D1 baseball team), and with an MBA from Cornell. I'm also a CFA Charterholder.
