Lauren Butler

The verifiable data points tie Lauren Butler to Tesoro Corporation, not to any venture or angel-investment firm. The email domain `tsocorp.com` is Tesoro Corporation's corporate domain (Tesoro traded on the NYSE under the ticker "TSO"), and the phone number (210) 626-6000 is Tesoro's main corporate line at its San Antonio, Texas headquarters. Both facts are consistent with the stated title of Plan Administrator and Director, Retirement & Executive Benefits — a corporate human-resources / benefits function responsible for administering an employer's retirement and executive-compensation plans.

Tesoro Corporation was a Fortune 100 independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products, operating refineries across the western United States. In 2017 the company rebranded as Andeavor (following its acquisition of Western Refining), and on October 1, 2018 Andeavor was acquired by Marathon Petroleum Corporation. A role in "Retirement & Executive Benefits" at Tesoro would have involved administering the company's several benefit plans — including its qualified employee retirement (pension) plan, its unfunded executive security plan, non-employee director retirement plan, restoration retirement plan, thrift/401(k) savings plans, and executive deferred-compensation arrangements — all of which are documented in Tesoro/Andeavor SEC filings.

Important caveat on the "angel investor" label: The known stub data classified this contact as an "Angel Investor" targeting "Seed Round" deals. Extensive searching (web, SEC EDGAR references, professional-profile aggregators) surfaced no evidence that Lauren Butler is an angel investor, has a startup portfolio, or invests at the seed stage. The verifiable identity is that of a corporate benefits administrator at a large oil-refining company. This appears to be a data-provider mislabel rather than a substantiated fact, and it should not be relied upon.

• No stated investment thesis could be found. No public writing, talks, portfolio, or self-described investing criteria were located for this person.
• The "Angel Investor / Seed Round" designation from the source stub could not be verified and is inconsistent with the individual's documented corporate benefits-administration role at Tesoro Corporation.
• Any characterization of check size, sector focus, or stage preference would be fabrication and is therefore omitted.
