GV, the early-stage investment subsidiary of internet and technology conglomerate Alphabet formerly known as Google Ventures, has promoted Terri Burns to investing partner.
Burns joined GV as a principal in October 2017 after spending 14 months as an associate product manager at social media company Twitter where she concentrated on improving user experience.
Having begun her career as a developer evangelist and front-end engineer at Venmo, digital payment processor PayPal’s mobile payment subsidiary, in 2015, Burns went on to serve as an adviser at coding school Codecademy the year after.
Burns has led two deals for GV in 2020: a $1m seed round for Hags, a provider of digital experiences aimed at Generation Z students, and another consumer company with a similar target audience that has not yet been disclosed.
GV general partner Dave Munichiello said in a blog post: “Her founder-focused approach comes from her personal experience building technologies with respected teams. Terri’s exceptional work has team-wide impact. We are excited to see her grow with GV.”
