About Shahram Seyedin-Noor
Shahram Seyedin-Noor is a venture capital investor at Civilization Ventures who combines an unusual background as a Harvard-trained lawyer, Goldman Sachs investment banker, and serial biotech founder-operator, having been founding CEO of oncology company Inspirna and CFO at genomics software company NextBio before becoming a VC. He deliberately built Civilization Ventures as a small, operator-led fund that focuses on backing young, unorthodox first-time technical founders in overlooked areas like genomics and AI in biotech, providing hands-on mentor capital from day zero rather than following traditional biotech VC pattern recognition.
