About Gil Beyda

Gil Beyda is the founder and managing partner of Genacast Ventures, a seed-stage venture capital firm he launched in 2008 after decades as a serial entrepreneur in adtech, cybersecurity, and enterprise software. His investment thesis targets seed-stage B2B technology startups, primarily within the northeastern United States along the Boston-to-Washington, DC corridor, with sector focus on enterprise IT, cybersecurity, SaaS, and advertising technology. Genacast typically invests up to $1 million per company and often acts as the first institutional investor in these early-stage rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Invite Media (acquired by Google for $81 million), Demdex (acquired by Adobe for $58 million), DoubleVerify, YieldMo, and Rocketrip. Beyda distinguishes himself by emphasizing software-centric businesses with recurring revenue models and enterprise buyers, explicitly avoiding hardware, medical devices, and consumer packaged goods. He describes his public identity as a “serial entrepreneur turned VC” investing in seed-stage B2B companies, with a profile on Medium reflecting this focus.
