Michael Basch

Founder, General Partner, & CEO, Atento Capital

Michael Basch positions venture capital as a tool for the 99%, arguing that VC should deliberately serve founders and regions historically overlooked outside coastal hubs as both a moral stance and a superior way to find returns. He structured Atento as a single-LP fund backed by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, advocating this non-traditional model as a way to reduce risk aversion and free VCs to spend more time supporting founders in undercapitalized regions.
