Zachary Bogue
Co-Founder and Managing Partner · DCVC
Deep tech Seed
He co-founded DCVC on the bet that systems thinking from environmental science plus deep tech can tackle urgent real-world problems, and still invests on it.
Zachary Bogue studied environmental science and public policy at Harvard University, and DCVC says the systems-level thinking of that field, combined with deep tech, is what led him to co-found the firm in 2010. He is a co-managing partner across DCVC's funds, after more than 20 years in California's Silicon Valley as an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, adviser and angel investor.
