Senior🎓
Top SchoolDoug Berg is a veteran talent-technology entrepreneur and investor with over three decades of experience building and scaling recruiting platforms that transform how companies find and engage talent. He founded multiple exits—including Jobs2web (acquired by SuccessFactors/SAP) and ZAPinfo (acquired by Indeed)—and now chairs and invests in AI-driven talent products like Match2 while advising a slate of early-stage HR tech companies. Known for pragmatic productization of automation and personalization, he has repeatedly turned recruiter workflows into 2x–5x productivity gains through integrations and one-click experiences. Based in Waconia, Minnesota, Doug blends hands-on product strategy with deep channel and partnership expertise, helping startups accelerate go-to-market and simplify solution storytelling. Rare among investors, he frequently embeds operational playbooks from his founder days into portfolio companies, not just capital or connections. His background in building both consumer intent and enterprise recruiting systems gives him a unique perspective on applying personalization and automation across the talent lifecycle.
