Miri Plowman

Business Scaling Specialist

(She/Her)

Joined Ventures February 2023

Miri specializes in helping established businesses as they manage, sustain and grow their business. The goal is to find a pace of growth that is both a stretch and realistic. She can talk out different capital investment options, new markets, system efficiencies, hiring, and work-life sustainability for you, the business owner. For example, if your business is in need of capital to invest in new equipment or to expand into a retail location, she can support in building and gathering documentation, P&Ls and in developing the narrative with you for a loan application. If you are starting to navigate the commercial lease market Miri work with you to sort out what the requirements for your lease would be and support you in the application process.  Miri comes to Ventures with 15 years of entrepreneurial experience and can relate to all the ways the bureaucracy, permitting, licensing, applying and systematizing can feel like the thing between you and your dreams. She also knows getting through all that bureaucracy, permitting, applying and systematizing is the way TO your dreams. She’s here to help and find creative solutions for your growing business.
