About Paul Brown

Paul Brown serves as both a managing partner at eLab Ventures and an elected Regent of the University of Michigan, giving him an unusual combination of active venture investor and public university governor perspectives. He was appointed by the Biden administration to the U.S. Treasury's SBA Lending Advisory Council, reflecting a national-level role in shaping access-to-capital policy that is uncommon for a regional early-stage VC.
