Jeremy Shure
Founder, Managing Partner
As the Founder of Drutman Street, Jeremy Shure has a diverse background of senior leadership in venture capital, banking, and law, which he leverages to build and scale initiatives that enhance portfolio performance and firm/family office profitability.
Jeremy’s expertise positions him to generate meaningful impact by bridging the gap between family offices, corporates, and the innovation economy. He invests in both funds and companies, with a focus on emerging managers and sectors such as AI-enabled technology, fintech, and banking. His interdisciplinary expertise and expansive network enable him to establish strategic connections that create multiplier effects—driving growth, uncovering inefficiencies, and unlocking high-value opportunities.
Jeremy architects value creation across core investment and operational functions, working with entities ranging from millions to multi-billions in AUM. He drives end-to-end investment and strategic execution—institutionalizing business initiatives, optimizing portfolio management, developing repeatable and scalable processes, and unlocking compounding value.
Jeremy previously founded the Emerging Companies/Venture Practice at a major New York City law firm, and later transitioned to senior banking roles, continuing his work with founders, GPs, and LPs. He led the Early Stage Practice Group for Silicon Valley Bank until 2019, and subsequently as Chief Revenue Officer for the first nationally chartered digital bank in the U.S. Jeremy is also a Kauffman Fellow (Class 23) and the recipient of its Class Leadership Award.
Jeremy is currently a Senior Investment Partner and a Senior Advisor at Sella Group, a leading Italian financial institution with a globally focused platform for alternative investments. At Sella, he developed and scaled the firm’s venture capital fund investment platform: a strategy, encompassing portfolio construction, investment theses, pipeline development, and a disciplined, repeatable diligence process. This framework enables the firm to identify and invest in the next generation of managers with a proven track record of scalable outperformance.
A Kauffman Fellow (Class 23), Jeremy has mentored and advised dozens of venture capital firms and non-traditional LPs, as well as hundreds of startups, guiding investors and founders through critical growth milestones. His expertise spans fundraising, market entry strategies, and team dynamics, with a focus on navigating the complexities of the startup ecosystem. Many of the funds he has advised have scaled successfully, funding companies that achieved unicorn status, went public, or delivered significant exits.
Deeply committed to philanthropy, Jeremy has led or served on the Executive Committees of several national not-for-profit Boards of Directors, including Active Minds (combating mental health stigma), the Techstars Foundation (empowering underrepresented entrepreneurs and communities globally through innovation), FIDF (President), Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, JCC Harrison, and others.
Jeremy lives in Westchester, NY, with his wife and four children. A serial obsessive with hobbies, he cycles through interests including crossword puzzles (1,400+ consecutive New York Times puzzles as of Q1 2025), magic, autobiographical memory studies, guitar, and running. A naturally curious lifelong learner, he typically reads a book each week—diving into whatever topic piques his interest from recent conversations, and is a die-hard fan of Bruce Springsteen. On weekends, he coaches youth sports and spends as much time outdoors with his family as possible.
