Bart D. Dillashaw

I grew up with the rise of the internet and was fascinated by technology’s ability to change the world. Early in my career, I worked with some of the first dot-com companies and saw firsthand how lawyers could help entrepreneurs access capital and navigate the rules of business—a realization that ultimately drew me to law school and then to Silicon Valley. Today, I love working with entrepreneurs, witnessing their drive to transform insights into new technologies and business models, and playing even a small role in their success. As an active participant in the startup ecosystem, I remain a true believer that startups are the engine of economic progress and a powerful force for building stronger communities.
