Tess Krensky

Biography

Tess Krensky is an Investor at Forerunner Ventures, where she looks for the founders building consumer products and experiences that simply weren't possible before. She works alongside the partners to diligence and back companies at the intersection of consumer and AI.

Before Forerunner, Tess worked in M&A investment banking at Evercore, advising on deals across the defense and industrial technology sectors. She holds a B.A. in Government from Colby College, where she played lacrosse and sharpened the competitive drive and team-first instinct she brings to Forerunner every day. Based in San Francisco, she points that same energy outdoors — skiing, surfing, biking, and running.
