Steve Beck has been named a general partner at early stage venture capital firm Serra Ventures.
After working informally with the Serra team for several years, Beck joined Serra Ventures as a venture partner in January 2016.
Now named a general partner, he will focus on developing Serra Capital’s reach and influence in selected West Coast geographies.
Beck is an entrepreneur and technology investor with over 25 years of experience both launching and guiding start-up companies. He has participated in two IPOs, Baidu and Lifelock, and he has transacted five public and five private company sales.
Tim Hoerr, CEO and managing partner of Serra Ventures, says: “Steve not only brings depth of expertise and unique real-world experience in the tech start-up space, but he does so with a rare sense of humility and grace. He is an exceptional person and a great cultural fit with the Serra team. We could not be more proud to name him a GP.”
Beck says: “At this juncture in my career, I only have interest in working with the best people on opportunities that add true value. Serra has formed an excellent team, strategy and ethos to produce exceptional value to its investors, portfolio companies and their customers by supporting the underserved markets of the Midwest and other key selected regions. I’m honoured to be a part of the effort.”
