I’m excited to welcome Matt Carbonara, a seasoned enterprise technology investor and operating executive, to the Mayfield team.
Matt brings 25+ years of experience spanning venture capital, corporate development, and operating roles in product development from the engineering bench to the boardroom. He started his career designing and architecting ASICs at a startup, leading to roles in product management and marketing, and then at venture capital firms. He later focused on M&A and investments at Cisco and, most recently, ran the enterprise investing practice at Citi Ventures, Citigroup’s venture arm. He’s partnered with founders at companies like Snyk, Cribl, Harness, Island, and Docker, with exits to Meta, Intel, Cisco, VMware, Snowflake, DocuSign, and others.
He is a great fit for our People-First firm – a builder-turned-investor who deeply cares about founders and understands the company-building journey from every angle: as an operator, venture capitalist, corporate IT buyer, and buyer of startups. Matt will invest out of our Select/Spring funds, partnering with entrepreneurs building category-defining AI companies.
We look forward to his contributions to helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams.
