Michelle Erikson is Vice President at Straylight Capital. Her role involves assessing the health and scalability of potential investments, and supporting the growth of portfolio companies. Prior to Plymouth, she led marketing for the University of Michigan’s Athletics Department and worked for a venture-backed sports accelerator. While not a Midwesterner by birth, she has adopted us lovingly as her home: she loves Euchre, the Upper Peninsula, and driving by corn fields on her commute.
