Max Kolysh

General Partner, Alloy Fund

About

Max Kolysh is a serial entrepreneur-turned-investor who founded two Y Combinator companies (Zinc, which was acquired, and Dover) and went through YC twice himself, giving him unusually deep operator experience compared to most VCs. He built multiple multi-million-dollar SaaS companies focused on automation and recruiting systems, and now brings this hands-on technical and operational knowledge to evaluating similar workflow-heavy startups at Alloy Fund while still actively running Dover as CEO.
