About George Zachary

George Zachary is a General Partner at CRV (Charles River Ventures) who primarily invests in early-stage companies (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A) across consumer internet, enterprise software, SaaS, cloud infrastructure, AI, and increasingly biotech/health tech. His notable portfolio includes Twitter (seed round), Yammer (acquired by Microsoft for $1.2B), Udacity, Shutterfly, Jambool, Millennial Media, DoorDash, and Postman. After a personal health scare, he pivoted his thesis to focus on "advancing health through computer science," seeking substantial breakthroughs in bioengineering and health technology rather than trivial advancements.
