Founder and Managing Partner
Suzanne Fletcher is a well-known investor with a career that spans over two decades. Prior to founding Zelda Ventures, she amassed nine years of hands-on experience in the venture capital landscape as an angel, co-investor, and lead investor. A pivotal chapter of her career involved managing the co-investment vehicle at StartX, a prestigious startup accelerator dedicated to supporting Stanford University alumni, professors and students. There, she honed her skills and built a phenomenal network over the course of five years. Suzanne's journey then took her to Prime Movers Lab, where she served as a general partner before setting out to create her own firm. Her prior investment portfolio is extensive and noteworthy, encompassing over 350 companies and 900 founders. In addition to her exceptional founder network, she possesses an equally remarkable network among top-tier venture capital funds, with whom she has co-invested. Suzanne began her career in the Technology Investment Banking Group at Morgan Stanley.
She earned an MBA from Stanford University and a BS in Finance and Information Systems from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Suzanne lives in the Bay Area, she is happily married to an entrepreneur, and is a mom to human twins and a lot of pets!
Chief Canine Officer
I enjoy meeting up for lunch, coffee, or walks with dogs and their entrepreneur human parent. My skills include interrupting Zoom calls, providing motivational barking, excelling in advanced treat negotiations, and engaging in professional napping.
