Mike Taft

Faith Led Entrepreneur

I work with business owners and executives who want to grow or sell their businesses. We start by taking an honest look at the numbers and the operation, then I bring in whatever it actually needs: software, AI, marketing, capital, or people.

Faith leads the way in my life. If that's what brought you here, or you're just curious, here's what I'd share with you.

The team

You get the team I built for my own companies.

Designers and developers who have shipped work for Kraft Heinz, NASCAR, and BCG. Engineers who build software and AI infrastructure into how a business actually runs. Former Wall Street analysts and investors who audit before they advise. The same people, at the same standard, whether you're a twelve-person shop or a global brand.

They work under one name, Mike Taft Ventures. If someone from my team has reached out to you, that's who they work for, and the Ventures page is where the first conversation starts.

About

Where I'm coming from

I've been blessed with a career I never expected. From the Department of Defense through Wall Street, consulting, software, marketing, and building companies of my own, most days my prayers still begin in astonishment. None of it happened without people who were generous with their time and their advice.

After a decade living in other cities, and a return to church, I realized Utica was where I was called to be. My family and my oldest friends are here, and I appreciate the place far more than I did growing up.

I work with companies all over the world, and I get to do it from a place I love living. I'm thankful for that.
