USV's published firm range is $1 million to $30 million from earliest stage through follow-ons. No personal range is attributed to John, and the firm's investment decision is a collective discussion rather than an individual vote.

Coulter has publicly said UDHC writes checks from pre-seed through Series A. A verified OpenVC firm profile lists $50K–$2M as UDHC's first-check range and says the firm sometimes leads; treat that as directory-level firm guidance rather than a Coulter-specific commitment, and confirm current size and ownership directly.

Former Partner, Finance & Operations (departed April 2026)

AirTree Ventures (Web3)

Helen's contribution was building an institutional venture platform around the investors and founders: fund finance, governance, compliance, systems, LP relationships, organization and shared learning

Not applicable. Helen is no longer at AirTree and her historical mandate was finance and operations, not a personal Web3 check-writing practice. Current founders should use AirTree's current investment team and published fund channels; operational peers should treat her record as experience, not present firm authority.
