About Kristina Shen

Kristina Shen is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Chemistry Ventures, where she previously served as a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz leading B2B software investing and as a Partner at Bessemer for seven years. Her firm focuses on early-stage AI startups across infrastructure and applications, leading Seed and Series A investments in software companies globally. Chemistry typically writes initial checks between $3 million and $30 million, with an average Series A allocation of $10 million to $12 million, and acts as a lead investor while continuing to support companies in later rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Matik, where Shen served as a Board Member, as well as fintech and work software startups backed by the firm’s $350 million debut fund. Shen is also a founding member of All Raise, an organization dedicated to increasing diversity in venture capital, though no specific public writing or distinctive investment thesis beyond AI and B2B software has been documented in available sources.
