Eric Vishria

I'm Eric, General Partner of Benchmark, where I back founders building enduring companies. I spend time with teams in software, infrastructure, and AI, and I like learning how products earn trust.

I started Rockmelt and served as its CEO before Yahoo acquired it. I joined Benchmark in 2014, bringing a builder's view to investing. Along the way, I've worked with companies including Confluent, Amplitude, Cerebras, Fireworks, Sierra, Benchling, and Contentful.

Ask me about the Rockmelt-to-Yahoo-to-Benchmark story, and what it taught me about choosing the next hard problem.
