shuckerVC

shuckerVC is a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm that specializes in investing in early-stage, US-based B2B software companies. The firm actively seeks out technical founders who are targeting markets ripe for digital transformation, with a particular emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms. shuckerVC aims to back top technical founders alongside other leading venture capital firms, often securing its place in oversubscribed funding rounds.

A core aspect of shuckerVC's strategy is its unique operational support model. After an investment, the firm embeds a full-time Support Partner within the portfolio company. This partner is responsible for managing all back-office functions, including recruiting, finance, compliance, marketing, and office operations. This model allows founders to concentrate entirely on product development and customer engagement, without the distraction of administrative tasks. The Support Partners are typically ex-consultants with 2-3 years of operational experience, and their compensation is aligned with the portfolio company's success through shuckerVC's GP carry pool, ensuring no equity dilution for the founders.

The firm's portfolio includes several innovative B2B software companies. Notable investments include Algorized, a data-centric AI/ML software platform for people sensing and positioning; Runreal, a software development company enhancing the Unreal Engine experience; Atlas, which provides agents for pricing, packaging, billing, and collections; Sindarin, focused on creating fast and reliable voice AI interfaces; and Brev.io, an AI-native business performance operating system that bridges tools, meetings, and business goals.

The shuckerVC team is led by Managing Partners Jean-Philippe 'JP' Persico and Graham Siegel. Gabe Regalado serves as a Venture Partner, and Megan Liu is a Support Partner. The team's expertise is geared towards providing hands-on operational support, which is a cornerstone of their value proposition to early-stage B2B software startups.
