After two years, as capitalists for the Venture for the best company Benchmark, Victor Lazarte leaves this company to start their own investment concert, he announced X on Thursday.
Lazarte became known in the technology of the co -founder company of Mobile Wildlife Studios, which was recently valued at about $ 3 billion in 2020. Wild nature collected money from many VC, including benchmark.
During his two years in Benchmark, Lazarte invested in recruitment and labeling of knowledge Startup Mercor, a video intelligence platform AI Heygen and AI Infrastructure Company Decart AI.
Lazarte leaves the reference point to “build a new investment practice”, he wrote in the position. According to the source, he recently informed his portfolio corporations about his plans to leave reference points.
Lazarte is the second investor who gave way to the benchmark partnership this 12 months. Sarah Tavel announced in April that she was going to the Venture partner.
After the departure of the other partners in a multi -story company, they are Peter Fanton, Eric Vishria and Chetan Puttagunt.
Unlike most VC corporations, in which older partners often receive most of the management and profits fees, the benchmark acts as an equal partnership, and all partners share fees and returns equally. Benchmark and Lazarte didn’t immediately answer our request for an additional comment.
