About Carl W. Treleaven

Carl W. Treleaven is the founder and Principal of Westlake Ventures, a single-principal venture capital firm in Saint Petersburg, Florida that he largely funds and leads as CEO, Treasurer, and registered agent. He brings nearly 20 years of operator experience as the former CEO of Pharmagraphics, a multinational specialty packaging company, and structures the firm to co-invest alongside Florida angel groups and select venture firms. Westlake Ventures focuses on development-stage software, information technology, healthcare, and biomedical companies, primarily in Florida but occasionally including non-Florida firms sourced through angel syndicates. The firm typically invests as a co-investor with seed to Series A check sizes that are smaller and reflective of angel-style investing, rather than leading rounds. Notable portfolio exits include teletherapy company TAO Connect, which was acquired by UpLift in March 2024, among approximately 50 to 53 disclosed investments with five total acquisition exits. Treleaven is also an entrepreneur, author, and CPA with numerous patents, holding a BA from Rice University and an MBA from Dartmouth College, though no distinctive public
