12 VCs and 1 funds investing in HR Technology
Former Principal, Northzone; Angel Investor
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No current personal angel check range is public. Historical Northzone deals ranged from pre-seed through growth, but firm-level third-party range estimates do not establish Deepka's present allocation. Founders should ask directly about current angel activity and should use Northzone's live team for fund pitches.
At Northzone, Deepka focused on product-led consumer and B2B software, with a particularly developed Future of Work thesis. She argued that structurally scarce frontline labor and obsolete tools create room for vertical systems of record spanning HR, scheduling, payroll and operational insight. Her Sona work shows a preference for multi-module products that expand from a sharp wedge, serve multiple verticals and demonstrate exceptional execution. Kota reflects a related interest in rebuilding regulated employee-benefits infrastructure. Her current personal activity includes occasional angel investments and hands-on experimentation with AI automation, but a new formal mandate is not yet public.
Venture Partner
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range or deal-lead authority is published. Craft's fund sizes and announced company rounds are not a defensible proxy for J Zac's individual allocation authority.
J Zac contributes an operator and product perspective to Craft's SaaS and marketplace investing. His public profile centers on building people-management software at Lattice, board work at Vanta, and angel investments in workflow, health, compliance, data, and productivity companies. The evidence supports a focus on founder and product judgment, enterprise usability, and scaling software organizations, but Craft publishes no more specific personal thesis.
