StartX adviser and former fund manager Suzanne Fletcher has secured a new appointment as general partner at Prime Movers Lab.
Suzanne Fletcher, an adviser at Stanford University’s StartX accelerator and former fund manager at the affiliated Stanford-StartX Fund, has been appointed general partner at seed venture firm Prime Movers Lab.
Fletcher began the role in September 2019 according to her LinkedIn profile, which states she will continue to serve StartX in an advisory capacity.
Fletcher was a fund manager for Stanford-StartX Fund for four and a half years. However she became embroiled in the legal feud with medical information assistant developer MedWhat over Stanford’s alleged use of the fund for tax avoidance.
In addition to fund management, Fletcher was responsible for evaluating founding teams and striking up relationships with other VC investors.
Fletcher also completed a two-year assignment with Kauffman Fellows, a venture capital and innovation investing-focused fellowship program, between 2016 and 2018 alongside her Stanford-StartX Fund duties.
Her earlier resume highlights include almost a decade as managing director of secondary private equity at Paul Capital Partners from 2004 until 2014, and an analyst role at investment bank Morgan Stanley from 1999 until 2001.
