Eric Rosenblum is a General Partner at Xora Innovation, a Temasek-backed early-stage venture firm investing in AI infrastructure, applied AI, and deep tech. Based in Silicon Valley, he is the firm's first US-based GP, bridging Southeast Asian capital with American innovation. Before Xora, he built Foothill Ventures into a leading deep-tech seed fund and spent his career as an operator at Google, Palantir, and as founder/executive at two acquired startups. A Harvard and MIT Sloan graduate raised in Steubenville, Ohio, he brings a rare combination of big-tech product leadership, China market experience, and hands-on startup scaling to his role as investor.
Raj Shekhar Singh is the Founder and General Partner of z21 Ventures, a community-first, operator-led early-stage VC firm investing at the pre-seed and seed stages across AI, fintech, enterprise software, and healthcare. An IIT Kharagpur BTech graduate with a PhD from UC Berkeley, Singh built his career from McKinsey to founding executive roles at Innovaccer (now a $3.5B healthtech unicorn) before launching z21 in 2022. The firm's $5M Fund I backed 26 startups and has already achieved two exits; Fund II closed its first $20M tranche with WestBridge Capital as anchor investor and is targeting $40M total.
Mike Duboe is a General Partner at Greylock Partners, one of Silicon Valley's oldest and most storied venture firms. A former operator who scaled Stitch Fix's growth org from zero to 20 people and helped take the company through IPO, Duboe brings rare depth to the investor seat - having managed nine-figure marketing budgets and built scrappy product-led growth teams. He focuses on commerce, marketplaces, and vertical software, with an investment philosophy rooted in learning velocity and disciplined, sustainable growth over vanity metrics.
Zane Lackey is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) focused on enterprise infrastructure and security investments. A former hacker turned CISO turned founder, he co-founded Signal Sciences - which Fastly acquired for $775 million in 2020 - after serving as Director of Security Engineering at Etsy during its DevOps revolution. He brings rare operator credibility to security investing, having personally defended production systems at scale before writing checks.
Michael Dearing is the founder and sole General Partner of Harrison Metal, a seed-stage venture capital firm based in Woodside, California. A former SVP at eBay who oversaw nearly $20 billion in gross merchandise sales, Dearing is one of Silicon Valley's most respected — and deliberately low-profile — early-stage investors. He taught entrepreneurial finance and management at Stanford for nearly a decade, coined the concept of 'cognitive distortions of founders,' and has backed companies including AdMob (acq. Google $750M), Acompli (acq. Microsoft $200M), MasterClass, PagerDuty, and Signal Sciences. He operates Harrison Metal with the philosophy that great general management is the scarcest resource in startup ecosystems.
