About Dr. Kiersten Stead

Zachary Bogue brings an unusual combination of backgrounds to venture investing—trained attorney, early Silicon Valley tech lawyer, entrepreneur, and real-estate investor—giving him a multidisciplinary perspective on risk and regulation that he applies to deep-tech investing decisions. He focuses on "trillion-dollar problems" that can be solved through deep science and engineering, particularly in climate tech where he champions advanced nuclear, geothermal, and infrastructure-heavy solutions while insisting that companies must have strong economics independent of carbon offsets or policy subsidies.
