Founder and Partner, Gradient Ventures

About

Zach Bratun-Glennon helped lead Gradient Ventures' transition from being Google's internal corporate VC arm to an independent venture firm while keeping Google as an investor, giving him experience managing both in-house corporate venture capital and fully independent fund models at the same platform. He maintains a board-level presence across 25+ companies and 35+ investments while staying focused specifically on AI and machine learning startups, often taking hands-on roles with data infrastructure and AI tooling companies rather than just application-layer bets.
