Menlo Park, CA - February 7, 2022 IVP, a seasoned, trusted, and understated partner for many of the technology industry's fastest-growing companies, is pleased to announce the promotion of Cack Wilhelm to General Partner.
In her three years at IVP, Cack has created immense value for our founders and their teams all while making smart investments for the firm, said Dennis Phelps, General Partner. Her operational background and decade of investing experience coupled with her depth of thinking is the perfect addition to our GP bench. She's a rare female voice in the cloud and data infrastructure space and our team couldn't be more proud to work alongside her.
In the last year, Cack led IVP's investment in Cribl's Series C, where she is also a board observer. She also led the firm's investments in CircleCI's Series E and Papaya Global's Series C.
Before IVP, Cack was a Partner at Accomplice and a Principal at Scale Venture Partners, where she worked with companies such as CircleCI, CloudHealth, JFrog, and Treasure Data. Cack began her career at Montgomery & Company and then spent several years in enterprise sales at Oracle and Cloudera.
A former Nike-sponsored professional athlete, Cack qualified for two USA running teams. She earned a B.A. in History from Princeton University, where she was an All-American runner and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
