Ricky Pelletier

Ricky Pelletier is a Boston-based venture capitalist and former Partner at OpenView Venture Partners who specializes in expansion-stage software investments. During his extended tenure at the investment firm, he progressed through roles including Associate and Vice President before becoming a Partner, where he managed investment diligence, market analysis, and complex deal structuring. His investment portfolio featured active board involvement with VTS, a commercial real estate software company managing over 1.5 billion square feet of property, led by CEO Nick Romito. In December 2023, Pelletier departed the venture firm alongside fellow partner Mackey Craven, a sudden transition that subsequently led OpenView to formally suspend new investments and initiate staff layoffs. Today, his professional background remains firmly centered on identifying and scaling high-growth enterprise software companies through strategic capital deployment, board leadership, and executive-level operational guidance.
