Philippe Suchet

Summary

I am a serial entrepreneur and investor passionate about transformative B2B technology, real estate, and above all-working with outstanding people. As a Partner at Spider Capital, I leverage my founder experience to invest in seed and seed+ stage enterprise cloud software companies across Israel, the US, and Europe. Our portfolio features category-defining companies such as Mechanical Orchard (GenAI for legacy application modernization), Smartex (AI for textile manufacturing), Imubit (AI process optimization for petrochemical plants), and Percepto (autonomous drone platforms), as well as numerous successful exits including Testim, Bonfire, and Definitive (acquired by Tricentis, GTY Technology, and Groq, respectively). Beyond Spider Capital, I have personally invested in ~60 startups as an angel investor, with 7 reaching unicorn status and 8 achieving successful exits. I frequently serve as a board member and hands-on mentor, working closely with founding teams to navigate growth and strategic inflection points. What truly drives me is partnering with A-teams-visionary founders and talented operators who are building the future. I thrive on collaborating with ambitious, passionate and flexible people. Supporting founders as a board member, mentor, and hands-on partner is the most rewarding part of my work. Entrepreneurial Journey: Zappli (acquired by Shopzilla/Taboola): Co-founder and CEO of Zappli, where we pioneered InstaBuy-a universal 2-click mobile checkout solution that enabled seamless shopping from dozens of major retailers, in seconds. Kefta (acquired by Acxiom/RAMP): Co-founder and CEO of Kefta, one of the very first Marketing SaaS, provider of dynamic targeting and real-time personalization for Fortune 500. Our platform empowered dozens of large corporations to increase online conversion rates 20-30%, get 4-15X ROI, while boosting engagement and loyalty through data-driven digital experiences. I am also passionate about real estate investing, with a portfolio spanning France and the United States-complementing my technology focus with tangible assets and diversification. My professional foundation includes roles at Boston Consulting Group and Goldman Sachs, and I bring a global perspective from living and working across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the US. I hold degrees from Harvard Business School, HEC Paris, and ENSAE. I’m always interested in connecting with visionary founders and world-class teams building the next generation of enterprise software.
