Shasta Ventures is a boutique, early-stage venture capital firm in Silicon Valley investing its fifth fund in consumer and enterprise technology startups. I focus on consumer companies. Many have subscription business models, or subscription-like characteristics. A bunch have mobile as a key enabler. I'm also fascinated by the intersection of biology and computing, which I studied in college.Series A Board Director at:LiteratiTallyThe Farmer's Dog The Pill ClubBoard Observer at:ClassDojoFrame.ioImperfect Foodsexited - Bloc, Hinge, WimInvestments co-sponsored (round/stage) in ~chronological order include: ClassDojo (A), Upserve (B), Whisper (C), Doctor on Demand (A), Stance (B), Canva (Seed), Survios (A), Timehop (B), Fetch Robotics (A), Bloc (A), Hinge (A), eero (A), Second Measure (Seed), Cover (Seed), Wim (A), Tally (A), Frame.io (A), Zwift (A), Imperfect Foods (Seed + A), Tonal (A), Plays.tv (A), Color Genomics (B), The Farmer's Dog (A), Atrium LTS (A), The Pill Club (A), Athelas (Seed), LetsDoThis (Seed), FlyHomes (A), Kapwing (Seed), RDMD (Seed), Grin Scooters (Seed), Blume (Seed), Lattice (B), Literati (A), Tandem (Seed), and a few not yet announced.Shasta's investments also include Anaplan, Apptio, Dollar Shave Club, Mint.com, Nest, Nextdoor, Simple, Smule, TaskRabbit, Turo, Zenprise, and Zuora.Managing Director (2018-2020)Partner (2017-2018)Principal (2015-2017)Senior Associate (2014-2015)Associate (2012-2014)

I began working with Carter Cleveland, founder and CEO, in 2008. We lived together at my parents' home in summer 2009 in the San Francisco Bay Area, where we worked on building the first version of the site. After the summer, I returned to Princeton as a full-time undergraduate, and Carter, who had graduated that year, moved himself and the company to New York City. I continued to support Carter and the team as an evangelist in the months and years ahead, and hope that Artsy's vision will be realized.
