Hey there, I'm Yoran, a venture capitalist.
I'm currently at Inovia Capital, a $2.5M AUM global VC where I support our discovery fund: A pre-seed and fund-of-fund vehicle backing breakout VCs such as Garage Capital, Wayfinder Ventures, GTMfund and category-leading companies such as Poolside, Tera AI, and Tempo Labs.
Prior to this, I was the first hire building Defined Capital, an early-stage data and AI VC based out of Vancouver, where I helped write the fund's whitepaper and investment thesis, The AI Frontier is Shaping Tomorrow, and helped write the first series of investments.
I was also a Venture Coordinator at Creative Destruction Labs, a global deeptech accelerator, where I helped manage the compute and biomedical engineering programs for the accelerator.
I studied at the University of British Columbia, and conducted AI research under the supervision of Yann Cornil. I am currently learning about retail-technology, computer vision, no-code/low-code, and drone technologies.
