Slater Stich is a partner at Bain Capital Ventures with 12 years of experience investing in and building tools for technical teams. He blends a deep quantitative background—MA and BA in Mathematics—with hands-on data science and engineering roles at Square and ElasticBox. After an MBA from Stanford GSB he moved into venture and operating roles, founding Activation Fund and serving in investor roles at Valor Equity Partners before joining Bain. Slater is focused on scaling developer productivity and infrastructure businesses, bringing product empathy from his time as a staff data scientist. Based in San Francisco, he pairs rigorous analytical training with operator experience, often evaluating opportunities through both technical merit and go-to-market fit. An understated thread through his career is a pattern of moving between building systems and funding the builders who make them.
