Current Opportunities

Mike founded his own VC firm that is the main investor in dozens of companies and we are engaged with many of them.  The hottest one is Tee Box, a golf simulator company that is opening 60 sites in 2026.  Venture Forward also owns several AI companies that consume significant bandwidth in the DC space.  There is significant opportunity for PP and Comcast with Mike and his companies.
