Mike Michalowicz’s Summary
Obsidian Launch invests in young, first time entrepeneurs. We take niche business concepts and help grow them into industry leaders.
I have founded, built and sold two technology service based companies. My second company, PG Lewis & Associates, was sold in a public transaction in 2006.
I enjoy entrepreneurialism and gladly share experiences and advice with first time entrepreneurs. I am regularly invited to sit on both formal and informal advisory boards and have relationships with the angel and early-stage investment community.
