Eric Rosenfeld

Eric co-founded the Oregon Angel Fund in 2007 as an experiment to combine the collective horsepower of a select group of active, accomplished angel investors and entrepreneurs with the rigor and discipline of a professional venture fund.

“Our hunch was that we might be able to make better decisions and add more value if we invited into the fund Oregon’s entrepreneur and technology leaders and equipped and empowered them to assist with researching, selecting, and advising the portfolio. Remarkably, it appears to be working!”

For Eric, the Oregon Angel Fund is a way to collaborate with old friends, and make new friends, in a manner that’s fun and rewarding on many levels.

A fourth-generation Portlander and former entrepreneur, Eric believes strongly in the transformative power of community and entrepreneurship, and is proud of the fund’s role in helping to shape Oregon’s economic future. He received his MBA from The Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and has degrees in Industrial Engineering and American Studies from Stanford.
