Greetings! My name is Bogdan Cristei. I am a Co-Founder and Partner at SHACK15 Ventures. I grew up in Romania, and came to the US to study Chemical and Industrial Engineering at University of California where I focused on automation, control systems and machine learning. Post undergrad I spent seven years as a Systems Engineer developing critical automation infrastructure for companies like Emerson, Genentech, Broadcom and Adobe among others. I then joined the dark side, got an MBA from UC Berkeley Haas, and moved into the venture capital space; I spent four years at a climate growth fund (Evergy Ventures) and a deep tech seed stage fund (Union Labs Ventures) before co-founding Shack15 Ventures, and invested in 25 companies across software and hardware, robotics, manufacturing, AI/ML, climate tech, logistics and IoT.
Mentees who work with a mentor for 3+ months reach their goals 2x faster than those going it alone. Long-term mentorship means fewer false starts, more focused sessions, and support that builds week after week.
