Stage: Growth (Series B+)
Cap-table conflict status: Verified clean institutionally across all 8 Init Intelligence competitors as of 2026-05-05. Vedant Suri (now General Catalyst, Serval deal partner) is ex-CapitalG — career history only, not an active CapitalG link.

Partner	Why fit	Recent thesis-aligned bets
Derek Zanutto (GP, SF)	Best literal portfolio adjacency on the Tier-C list. Led CapitalG’s NinjaOne investment (Feb 2025, “Empowering Modern IT Teams”) — closest IT-ops pure-play in the portfolio. Also led Cribl, Grafana, Databricks, Dataiku, Collibra, Armis	NinjaOne, Cribl, Grafana, Databricks, Verkada
Jill Chase (GP)	Voice on “copilots → agents” transition; strong agentic SaaS thesis	/dev/agents, LangChain, Magic, Rippling, Dreamer, Abridge, Baseten
Mo Jomaa (Partner)	Co-author of Feb 2025 NinjaOne post with Zanutto — IT-ops sub-thesis carrier	NinjaOne (board sub)

Stage: Series B+ — does not lead Series A. Typical check $50 M -$ 200M. Co-led Baseten Series E ( $300 M,$ 5B post) with IVP in Jan 2026.
Strategic assets: Alphabet relationship + 100,000+ Googler advisor network; Google Workspace + Cloud Marketplace channel.
Vedant Suri’s career path (ex-CapitalG → General Catalyst, Serval lead) is career history, not an active CapitalG link or a conflict.
