Founder, Managing Partner

As the Founder of Drutman Street, Jeremy Shure is an investor in venture capital funds and companies and provides strategic advisory services to family offices, venture capital funds, and financial institutions globally, with AUMs ranging from millions to multi-billions. With over two decades of experience, Jeremy specializes in identifying and executing investment strategies that deliver multi-dimensional returns—financial, strategic, and impactful.

Jeremy is a Senior Investment Partner 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 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.

In addition to his work with Sella, Drutman Street’s clients include family offices, venture capital firms, and global financial institutions. Jeremy tailors strategies to meet unique client goals while leveraging a global network to create repeatable playbooks for success.

Previously, Jeremy began his career at two top-tier law firms (King & Spalding, a leading global firm, and Akerman LLP, rated among the top US law firms) in New York City, where he founded and led the latter’s Venture Capital Practice, before transitioning to senior banking roles.  He led the Early Stage Practice Group for Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) until 2019 and served as Chief Revenue Officer for the first nationally chartered digital bank in the US. These roles shaped his interdisciplinary approach to managing alternative portfolios, navigating the relationships and flow of capital across the LP/GP/founder ecosystem, and creating multi-dimensional value across investments.

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 served on the Executive Committees of several national not-for-profit boards. He lives in Westchester, NY, with his wife and four children. A passionate New York Times Crossword enthusiast (with a streak of over 1,300 puzzles as of Fall 2024), he’s also a die-hard Bruce Springsteen fan and spends his weekends coaching youth sports and enjoying the outdoors.
