Managing Partner
Michael Silverstein founded Soundproof Ventures in 2019.
Michael began his career at Goldman Sachs where he learned that the value of a business is based on its ability to return a dividend.
In time, Michael recognized a strong desire to roll up his sleeves and work with entrepreneurs. Over the subsequent 15 years, Michael gained deep experience developing strategies, overseeing operations, and executing transactions for venture-backed startups and traditional media companies from company formation to pre-IPO.
Throughout, Michael developed an acute appreciation for the daily battle that goes into company building and the inevitable twists and turns encountered along the way.
Michael graduated with a BA in History from Duke University and holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson. Despite living in Los Angeles with his wife and two boys, he remains a die-hard Boston sports fan.
