About Miles

Interests: technology, start-ups and reading.  And helping people meet their goals.

More specifically, I’m COO and founder of Higher One.  Do my best to make time for other activities like being Founder/Board Member SeeClickFix, on the Board Yale-New Haven Hospital and on the (advisory) Board of the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute.  I’m taking a break from the Board of the Yale Entrepreneurial Society and I used to be more involved with New Haven’s Port Authority and Yale’s  Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility.  When I run across a great start-up that I think I can help, I’ll invest with fellow angels through Top Floor.

In the past, I’ve run a painting franchise, done system administration, pulled cable and been an “inventor” (seriously Walker Digital had such titles).  I helped create Cluefest, New Haven’s annual citywide scavenger hunt.

On occasion, I have been known to dance more than is appropriate.

More about me out on LinkedIn or my bio on higherone.com.

    Hi Mr. Lasater,

    I know it is a bit unconventional to ask this via your blog, but the FOCUS on New Haven orientation program at Yale is holding a panel on economic development and would like to invite you to come as a panelist. If you are available and willing, please e-mail us at focusonnewhaven@gmail.com.

    Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.
