Jeff Olyniec brings an unusually hands-on manufacturing and hardware background to Moneta Ventures, having served as longtime CEO of a global electronics company that scaled to roughly $400M in annual revenue and went public in China. His deep cross-border operating experience in China since 1996, including leading New Vision Display to a Shenzhen Stock Exchange listing, gives him rare public markets expertise that he applies when working with Moneta's technically complex hardware-plus-software portfolio companies.

Notable Investments
Moneta Ventures is a Sacramento-rooted fund with dual headquarters in Sacramento and Austin that positions itself as the flagship VC for underserved West Coast and Texas tech corridors rather than chasing coastal mega-hubs. The fund emphasizes a builder-focused approach where operators back operators, with over 10 portfolio founders personally investing in their third fund and partners who lean into product and operational execution rather than purely financial oversight.
