Michael Sanchez

I could not verify from public sources that Michael Sanchez is listed on Banyan Tree Asset Management’s team, that he holds a public investment role there, or that he is an angel investor. The supplied email domain corresponds to Banyan Tree Asset Management, LLC, but the firm’s public team page lists Kenneth Naehu, Brian Goldberg, Diana Bouch, Michael Naehu, and Adam Werthmuller; it does not list Michael Sanchez.

Banyan Tree Asset Management, LLC describes itself as an employee-owned investment adviser founded in 2013. Its public site says the firm focuses on fixed-income management, using active fixed-income strategies, separately managed accounts, and independent research. The firm’s listed address is 21250 Hawthorne Boulevard, Suite 550, Torrance, CA 90503.

The firm’s SEC Client Relationship Summary states that Banyan Tree offers investment management using fixed-income strategies, builds and manages bond portfolios, monitors client accounts daily, and generally exercises discretionary management authority. The CRS states a minimum account size of $20,000,000.

• Public sources do not verify an angel-investing thesis, startup portfolio, seed-stage check size, or venture-sector focus for Michael Sanchez.
• Banyan Tree’s stated focus is fixed-income management rather than venture investing. Its website describes its strategy as “Active fixed-income management with a focus on maximizing income while minimizing risk.”
• The firm’s CRS says it “offers investment management utilizing fixed-income strategies” and builds and manages bond portfolios for clients.
• The firm appears to serve retail and institutional advisory clients rather than startup founders seeking seed capital.
