Suman Talukdar

I am a seasoned technology investor, previously a venture-backed operator, and I love helping founding teams succeed. As the founder of a venture capital fund, I share lessons learned and my relationships to help other ambitious entrepreneurs. Having earned my stripes as a Silicon Valley angel investor, I am currently investing out of my second fund, with portfolio companies having raised over $100M in follow-on capital. Select active investments are ActiveLoop, Boostup, FormLogic, HaydenAI, Namecoach, Procyon & Zero Systems. My notable investment exits include 6D.ai, Apprente, and Palantir. Over the previous decade, I've worked in executive roles with legendary Silicon Valley founders, investors, and technologists - experiencing five back-to-back exits (valued at over $7B+). Iconic companies I've had the privilege to work with include Anaplan ($2.1B IPO), Clearwell (acquired by Symantec $400M), Cloudflare (IPO $5.25B), & VerticalNet (IPO). Through these roles, I've seen what it takes to build enduring hypergrowth businesses. My Silicon Valley technology industry network is one of THE best. I am a Harvard Business School and Rice alumnus. Feel free to DM me to set up a 15-min introduction. No lead-generation inquiries please. 🙏🏼
