Venture capital firm Lux Capital has promoted Zack Schildhorn and Shahin Farshchi to partner and Adam Goulburn to principal.
“We’re incredibly proud of the growth and contributions from Zack, Shahin and Adam,” says Peter Hebert, co-founder and managing partner of Lux Capital. “Each has proven themselves over a period of years and has demonstrably added value to the firm by actively sourcing, leading and structuring new investments, observing or serving on boards, recruiting talent, managing teams of people, networking and representing Lux at industry events – all towards helping add value to our portfolio companies and working on behalf of our limited partners.”
Schildhorn pioneered Lux’s landscaping of the 3D printing market and sourced the firm’s investment in Shapeways, as well as recently leading both its Seed and Series A investments in SOLS Systems.
Farshchi sourced many of Lux’s investments in hardware and devices (including Planet Labs, SiBEAM and Silicon Clocks) and recently led Lux’s new founding investment in Flex Logix.
Goulburn has worked closely with Lux’s life sciences portfolio companies and charted Lux’s healthcare IT initiative. He also recently led several recent unannounced healthcare investments.
