Mike Duboe
Partner, Greylock
Mike is a technology operator who partners with founders building the next wave of commerce, marketplace, and consumer technology businesses. He has led unannounced investments across several focus areas: those building underlying technology/infrastructure to empower modern commerce, marketplaces (both B2B and B2C), and platforms around the shift of consumer engagement toward audio. Mike brings a specialized mindset to the broadest of goals: growth. He focuses on helping founders identify, maneuver, and systematize their growth levers. Having overseen both nine-figure marketing budgets (across both digital and offline channels) and scrappy product-oriented growth teams, Mike understands what both healthy and unhealthy growth look like. Prior to Greylock, Mike was the first in-house growth hire at Stitch Fix, where he built and led the Growth organization and developed a set of core operating principles that helped take the company through IPO. Before that, Mike was the first growth hire at Tilt, where he built and oversaw multiple teams, including analytics, marketing, community, and growth product. He also served on YC’s growth advisory council, is a growth lecturer at Reforge, and was a growth advisor across various VC firms and startups. Earlier in his career, Mike was a consultant with Bain & Company and worked in the Private Equity practice. Mike holds a BS & MS in Industrial & Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan, and an MBA from Stanford University.
