Investment firm Giant Ventures bolsters its U.S. operations by appointing Zenetta Burger as its new head. Burger, a tech VC specialist with a focus on sustainability, will spearhead the firm's operations in the United States.
In a recent development, Zenetta Burger has been appointed as Partner at Giant Ventures, a sustainability technology-focused venture capital investor based in London. Founded in 2019, Giant Ventures invests in purpose-driven technology founders with solutions aimed at global challenges, particularly in the areas of climate, health, and inclusive capitalism.
Burger brings a wealth of experience to Giant Ventures, having previously worked as an Investor at consumer and technology-focused venture investor Anthos Capital. She also served as VC Director at HR solutions provider TriNet and held roles as Head of Operations at SMS engagement platform Community.com. Burger's career in venture capital began at Mucker Capital, where she was an Investor.
Before joining the venture capital world, Burger gained experience in Mergers & Acquisitions, specifically with a focus on Media and Technology, at KPMG. This diverse background will undoubtedly prove valuable as Burger takes on the responsibility of leading Giant Ventures' U.S. presence.
In her social media post, Burger announced her joining of Giant Ventures ahead of the next set of funds launching soon. This suggests that Giant Ventures is growing its U.S. team and is poised for significant expansion. Burger has already spearheaded two investments for Giant Ventures, one in energy and one in robotics, and she will continue to help build out the investment team.
Giant Ventures invests at Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series B levels in Europe and the U.S. With Burger's appointment, the firm is well-positioned to find and back the best founders in the U.S. as they seek to address global challenges through innovative technology solutions.
In addition to her venture capital work, Burger has also served as a Venture Partner at philanthropic network Social Venture Partners. This experience underscores her commitment to making a positive impact through her professional endeavours.
As Giant Ventures prepares for its next phase of growth, the addition of Zenetta Burger as Partner is a significant step forward. Her expertise and passion for purpose-driven technology make her an ideal fit for the firm's mission.
