Beasley
Victoria is a Founding Partner at Gigascale and brings over 15 years of experience at the forefront of climate solutions as an investor, founder, and operator. She's known for deep sector knowledge, pragmatic and hands-on board work, and strong relationships across the fundraising ecosystem.
At Gigascale, she co-leads firm strategy with Mike, oversees firm operations, and manages both the investment and platform teams. Victoria is a board observer in Gigascale portfolio companies Arch, Dioxycle, Estes, Homeboost, and Light Energy.
Before Gigascale, Victoria was one of four General Partners at Prelude Ventures, a $1.5B AUM fund, where she led 12 investments across energy, mobility, food and agriculture, carbon management, and materials and industrials. She served as a Board Director for Lightship, Persefoni, and Trove, and as a Board Observer for Pivot Bio, Ripple, and Natron Energy.
Earlier in her career, Victoria was Head of Finance for Suniva, an early-stage solar company, where she managed financial modeling and guided global manufacturing expansion. She helped raise $105M in equity—a rare feat in the early days of solar manufacturing—and led an initiative to reduce the company's silver use on solar cells to drive down costs. Victoria also founded an agriculture supply chain company, worked on climate strategies at BCG, and interned with d.light, which has since sold over 35 million solar and energy-efficient products.
Victoria holds an MBA and MS in Environment and Resources from Stanford's Graduate School of Business, and a BS in Biology from the University of North Carolina.
