Pioneer Fund’s Post

Exciting Leadership Updates! 🎉 I'm thrilled to announce some important changes to our leadership team at Pioneer Fund. Tim Suzman: Promoted to Managing General Partner Tim has been an invaluable asset to our team as a GP and will be joining me as Managing GP. Tim first joined Pioneer Fund as a Venture Partner in W18, quickly became a Senior Venture Partner by S18, and by the fall of 2018 joined Pioneer full-time. In many ways, Tim has been my co-founder and has been a critical component in scaling our unique model. We wouldn't be where we are today without Tim.   Michael Dilworth: Promoted to General Partner & CFO Mike joined the fund in 2022 and took on a significant amount of fund administration, LP reporting, and other crucial aspects of managing the fund off my plate. With over 500 investments and more than 700 investors across our funds, our reporting obligations on tax, audit, and valuations are substantial. Since joining, Mike has played an increasingly important role in fundraising and our follow-on decisions. His promotion to GP, while retaining his CFO responsibilities, acknowledges his broader contributions to Pioneer.   Eric Norman: Promoted to General Partner Eric first joined Pioneer Fund as a VP in 2021, became a Visiting SVP in W22, and an SVP in S22. He then became a Visiting GP in the fall of 2022. Eric has made significant contributions as a Visiting GP, particularly with investment decisions, portfolio modeling, and accelerating our use of AI. We are excited to have him join us full-time as a GP.   Please join me in congratulating Tim, Mike, and Eric on their well-deserved promotions. With over 1,500 YC alumni involved as Venture Partners or portfolio founders, their leadership and expertise will be invaluable as the Pioneer Fund community continues to grow.
