About Jonathan Heiliger

Jonathan Heiliger is a General Partner at Vertex Ventures US, a boutique fund he started in 2015 after previously leading Facebook’s infrastructure team as it scaled to over 900 million users and serving as COO of Opsware. Vertex US primarily invests in seed and Series A companies, with about half of its capital directed toward new infrastructure software and the remainder split between business SaaS and productivity tools for non-IT buyers. His typical check size centers around $1 million, and he often acts as an early backer rather than strictly defining lead or follow behavior in public records. Notable portfolio companies include Quora, Dropbox, PerimeterX, and LaunchDarkly, with Heiliger serving on boards for several such as PerimeterX, CloudAcademy, and SpaceIQ. He emphasizes evaluating whether a technical problem is valuable beyond just being hard, particularly for founders building next-generation infrastructure software. While he has spoken publicly on podcasts about counseling founders and building investor relationships, no distinctive published articles or written frameworks are widely cited in available sources.
