Managing Partner, Blackhorn Ventures

About

Melissa brings a rare combination of family office leadership experience as former Chief Investment Officer at ZOMA Capital and a systems-level approach to industrial resource efficiency, framing investments around how technology can help large industries use less to make more. She emphasizes backing expert generalists who build complementary teams rather than solo founders, and uses leadership coaching as a core value-creation tool while maintaining a data-driven approach to portfolio diversity in hard-tech sectors.
