The rest of the 100 (in alphabetical order): Jessica Peltz-Zatulove, principal, KBS+ Ventures
An advertising veteran based on New York’s Madison Avenue, Jessica Peltz-Zatulove made her move to corporate venture capital in 2014 when she joined KBS+ Ventures, the investment unit of Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal.
Her arrival followed the departure of Darren Herman as managing partner at the end of 2013 to become vice-president of content services at Mozilla. KBS+ Ventures had by then already negotiated equity stakes with several early-stage startups, including YieldBot, Adaptly and PlaceIQ among 10 others, before Joshua Engroff took over as managing partner.
Peltz-Zatulove brought to KBS+ 10 years of experience in working with startups to develop their branding. Now, the Indiana University graduate uses her experience working with startups to focus on early-stage investments in media and advertising startups at KBS+. Alongside her investment duties, Peltz-Zatulove maintains a passion for mentoring, and has mentor roles at UpWest Labs, Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, NYC BigApps and Worldwide Investor Network.
