Steven Lehmann

Principal, Portal Innovations

I am a "startup midwife" who has spent the last decade helping inventors turn their discoveries into businesses, whether in a startup, a university, or even a refugee camp. In my current role, I oversee venture investments at Portal Innovations, investing 5 to $10m a year in seed-stage biotech startups across the central US. I can help advise you on fundraising strategy, market selection, business model design, patent strategy, and how to tell your story to an investor.
