#1Elena Pantazi

Partner & Head of Platform

Northzone (Web3)

Elena's platform thesis is that talent and portfolio development are continuous with investment quality: assess critical hiring and organizational needs before a deal, then help founders build teams a

Associate Technical Recruiter

#4Rachel Ruggieri

Associate Technical Recruiter

First Round Capital

Not applicable to Rachel's technical-recruiting role. First Round's public initial-investment range of $1 million to $7 million and roughly $3.5 million average belongs to the firm's investing process, not to Rachel personally.

#5Hirsh Jain

Co-Founder & CEO, Percepta

General Catalyst

Hirsh's operating thesis is that enterprise AI fails when organizations bolt point solutions onto legacy workflows or stop at pilots. Percepta embeds engineers, researchers and product managers inside

Not applicable. Hirsh leads Percepta, an operating/transformation company, rather than a General Catalyst investment team. Founders seeking GC capital should contact an actual GC investor; enterprises seeking embedded AI transformation can contact Percepta.
