I'm an engineer turned VC, and I read HN on most days. Eng career: one of the first 10 engineers at LinkedIn and Factual, and one of the first 10k engineers at Google. Investing: I'm a partner at Susa Ventures. We're a $90m seed fund and we've backed companies like Robinhood, Flexport, and Fast at seed stage. - $1m-$1.5m checks, generally when companies are raising $2m-$5m. - the 4 areas where we're most active are enterprise SaaS, fintech, logistics/supply chain, and healthcare IT. - we can invest pre-launch or pre-product, but prefer for there to be an MVP and idealy a few early pilots/contracts/users. - we like companies that have the potential to build strong moats in the long run (network effects, proprietary data, etc.) Easiest ways to reach me: @lpolovets on Twitter or leo at susaventures.com I've gotten more and more bandwidth constrained as our fund has grown, but I do my best to reply to emails/DMs where I'm a fit or could be helpful. If you mention HN, I'll prioritize your email. :)
