We are thrilled to announce the addition of nine new members to the broader PSL team with the launch of our brand new PSL Technical Advisory Board (the “TAB”), chaired by University of Washington computer science professor Ed Lazowska.
‍
We have assembled a dream team of the world's preeminent tech visionaries, AI researchers, builders, operators, and innovators to help PSL continue to supercharge next-gen innovation in the Pacific Northwest startup ecosystem.

So what's the TAB all about? Think of it as a powerful extension of PSL as we explore, discover, invest, build, and support the next big things in technology innovation. PSL TAB members lend their expertise to the PSL core team, portfolio company management teams, entrepreneurs-in residence, and the broader PSL community.

These days, with leaps in AI and technology innovation happening almost daily, the TAB will help ensure that founders and the PSL core team stay several steps ahead. Through regular dinners, meetups, connections, and special events, we are excited to work closely with and welcome this new group.

Journalists regularly ask us the question, “Does and will Big Tech own the most interesting new technology innovation, especially when it comes to AI?” It's powerful to see this group of the world's leading researchers, seasoned entrepreneurs, and "Big Tech" AI leadership betting with their feet on the next generation of Pacific Northwest startups' ability to create new tidal waves of AI-led innovation.

The group has already jumped in to help the PSL team with due diligence on a couple of new investment opportunities and to support a few PSL portfolio companies to boot. The PSL partners and founder community are all so honored to have these amazing leaders as extended members of the PSL team.
