Michael R. Pratt is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Select Venture Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm in Fredericksburg, VA, where he also serves as a Lecturer in Technology Entrepreneurship at the University of Maryland’s Clark School of Engineering. His firm targets post-seed to pre-Series A software startups, with a focused thesis on cloud services, enterprise software, mobile applications, and data analytics. Select Venture Partners typically provides capital alongside strategic operating expertise, though specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly documented beyond a tracked $4.0M equity investment in Optii Solutions in June 2018. Notable portfolio companies include Optii Solutions, Healthy Roster (where Pratt is a Board Observer), and Flyreel (also a Board Observer role). Pratt distinguishes himself by bridging the funding and expertise gap for nascent software companies through his team’s cross-industry operating experience, rather than publishing distinctive public investment essays or frameworks.
