Terence Craig

Terence Craig is a hands-on early-stage investor, serial entrepreneur, and advisor to venture funds with expertise in deep technology/AI, femtech, SaaS, digital health, B2B, medical devices, and big data.
In addition, he specializes in investing in and supporting diverse founders and emerging fund managers.
His investing thesis is straightforward: Given the consistent research on the higher returns from diverse managers and teams, diversity is not just a social good; it is a fiduciary responsibility.
An experienced technologist, speaker and author, Terence has founded multiple companies and has served as the chief technology officer at multiple venture-backed companies, including the Mayfield-funded Consensys Software and several pioneering enterprise and big data software companies.
Terence was one of the earliest Black CEOs and founders to raise venture capital, and he uses that experience and expertise to improve the startup ecosystem.
His goal has been to support other “non-traditional” founders in navigating the startup landscape.
His efforts to increase inclusion in the startup ecosystem led Terence to join the executive team at Astia Angels, where he ran a pilot investment program to support women of color.
