We lazily named our fund after the "Miraloma Park" neighborhood in San Francisco. It's our go-to hideout from the Houston summers. Miraloma Partners embodies the eclectic blend of West Coast innovation and old Texas charm. Our West Coast Gulf Coast back-and-forth shapes our investment philosophy—a fusion of experiences that fuels our approach to partnering with founders.
Unlike traditional VC’s constrained by investment committees, Miraloma is agile, decisive, and hands-on. We're not just investors; we're collaborators, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers. Whether it's rolling up our sleeves on a drilling rig or YOLO’ing headfirst into the latest LLM startup, we're driven by a shared vision of building businesses, creating jobs, and fueling economic growth. We’re seeking visionary founders who share our passion for innovation and are ready to join us in shaping the future.
