Max Heald

Max Heald is an investor at Boldstart Ventures, the enterprise-first seed firm behind Snyk, BigID, and Tessl. Based in Miami and steeped in the early-stage game since his days at Union Square Ventures, Heald zeroes in on developer-first infrastructure, AI-native tooling, and the emerging protocols he describes as 'toll roads for the internet.' He came up through Phillips Exeter and Northwestern, cut his teeth analyzing board decks at USV, and has since backed and advised founders building the unglamorous but essential plumbing of the modern internet.
