Shasta Ventures

Shasta Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2004 and based in Silicon Valley (Portola Valley / Menlo Park, on and around Sand Hill Road, California). Founded by Rob Coneybeer and Ravi Mohan (with Tod Francis and Jason Pressman among its long-tenured Managing Directors), the firm invests primarily at the Series A stage in United States technology startups, typically leading rounds and taking board seats. Shasta has roughly $1.3B under management across multiple funds (Fund II $250M, Fund III $265M, Fund IV $300M) and a 20-year track record. Its thesis centers on enterprise software / SaaS, cybersecurity, developer tools and infrastructure, data intelligence, camera / computer vision, and consumer subscription products, pairing capital with operational support (Shasta Elevate) for technical founders. Notable investments include Anaplan, Zuora, Nest, Nextdoor, Apptio, Eero, Sendbird, Tonal, Lattice, Highspot, SentinelOne and Turo, with 12 unicorns, multiple IPOs and dozens of acquisitions across its history.
