Conrad Shang is the Founder and Managing Partner at Ensemble VC, an Austin-based early-stage venture firm where he leverages prior experience as a product leader at Yammer, an investor at Bain Capital Ventures, and a portfolio manager of $4 billion at UTIMCO. His investment thesis targets seed through Series A stages in sectors including AI, deep tech, healthcare, infrastructure, robotics, and fintech, with a geographic focus on Austin and the San Francisco Bay Area. Shang typically leads checks ranging from $3 million to $7 million, emphasizing flexibility in collaboration rather than strict competition with other venture capitalists. Notable portfolio companies he has backed include Zoom, Carta, Groww, Good&Co, and Casper, with seven of his investments reaching unicorn status. Ensemble VC distinguishes itself through a data-driven, product-first approach powered by its proprietary AI platform Unity, which is built and operated by a team half-composed of data scientists. Shang is a Kauffman Fellow who has publicly discussed the firm’s focus on backing the “best teams” as their north star in venture investing.
