... [+]Coatue is growing its venture investing bench at a time when the market downturn has put pressure on crossover funds.
The investment giant announced Monday that Sri Viswanath, chief technology officer at Atlassian, will start in July as a general partner making early and growth stage investments in artificial intelligence. Viswanath says he led the creation of AI teams as an executive at Groupon and Atlassian, and wanted to hone in on the space as he steps into a full-time investing role. “When I look forward to the next several years, AI is coming into every single company,” he says.
The career tech operator spent the last six years leading engineering at Atlassian, which makes collaboration software. His team grew fivefold to about 4,000 employees during his tenure. Viswanath says he felt comfortable departing after executing a shift of the company’s offerings to the cloud from its initial on-premise model. “The best time to leave is when things are going well,” he says.
An active angel investor and startup adviser, Viswanath has sat on the boards of Splunk and SendGrid , and was a backer in billion-dollar startups Hopin and JupiterOne. After announcing in January his plans to leave Atlassian, he says he spoke to several venture firms, but landed on Coatue because of its combination of career investors and operators and its emphasis on data investing.
Coatue’s $15.9 billion of deployed venture capital made it one of the most active lead investors in last year’s frenzied venture investing environment, according to
