15 VCs and 18 funds investing in AI Agents
Former Principal, Northzone; Angel Investor
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No current personal angel check range is public. Historical Northzone deals ranged from pre-seed through growth, but firm-level third-party range estimates do not establish Deepka's present allocation. Founders should ask directly about current angel activity and should use Northzone's live team for fund pitches.
At Northzone, Deepka focused on product-led consumer and B2B software, with a particularly developed Future of Work thesis. She argued that structurally scarce frontline labor and obsolete tools create room for vertical systems of record spanning HR, scheduling, payroll and operational insight. Her Sona work shows a preference for multi-module products that expand from a sharp wedge, serve multiple verticals and demonstrate exceptional execution. Kota reflects a related interest in rebuilding regulated employee-benefits infrastructure. Her current personal activity includes occasional angel investments and hands-on experimentation with AI automation, but a new formal mandate is not yet public.
Head of research, Investment Associate
The Spartan Group
Check: No personal check-size or allocation authority is published. Spartan Capital manages liquid, DeFi, gaming/metaverse, and market-neutral funds; the firm's $500M stated AUM and portfolio activity are not a personal check range for José.
José researches and evaluates liquid and protocol opportunities for Spartan Capital. His work focuses on crypto becoming financial infrastructure: stablecoin adoption, yield markets, institutional use of public DeFi, tokenized equities and commodities, high-performance onchain exchanges, intents, and autonomous-agent payments. He pairs narrative inflection points with measurable supply, transfer volume, fees, TVL, open interest, protocol revenue, and live institutional usage.
Associate
Colosseum
Check: Colosseum's published accelerator investment is $250K pre-seed for accepted teams; it is a program-level standard, not Michael's personal discretionary check. Current materials say hackathon winners are interviewed and considered, with accepted teams receiving capital, mentorship and network access. Earlier official content described 7% terms; founders must verify the current instrument, percentage and token/equity structure.
Michael's lens combines markets research with Colosseum's tournament-style venture funnel: use global hackathons and four-week build sprints to observe which founders ship, learn and attract users before investing. He is interested in Solana products that exploit crypto-native primitives rather than append tokens to conventional software—especially futarchy and market-protected capital formation, tokenized cash-flowing assets, sophisticated trading tools, privacy-enabled settlement and AI-enabled onchain agents. He treats tokens as useful when distribution, user alignment, liquidity and governance matter, but recognizes that early public prices can distract pre-product teams and that long-horizon capital-intensive companies fit equity better.
Builder & Former Crypto Investor
Check: No current check size or active angel mandate is verified. Scalar Capital stopped deploying new capital in September 2023 and moved into maintenance mode; Linda continued supporting its existing portfolio while transitioning back to building.
Historical Scalar lens, not a current investment mandate: back genuinely new crypto systems where decentralization or censorship resistance is essential, people have a real reason to use the product, and an open-source project's durable moat comes from community, specialized knowledge and execution. Her later builder work extends that logic to permissionless social graphs, embedded wallets and mini apps that give users ownership and developers distribution without platform gatekeepers.
Principal
Greenfield Capital
Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. Greenfield invests across private, public, and liquid crypto assets from pre-seed through later stages; disclosed Claude-led financings include Rebind's €1.6M pre-seed, Greenfield's co-lead in Layer3's $15M Series A, and Greenfield's lead in Self's $9M seed. Those round sizes are not Claude's personal allocation authority.
Claude leads Greenfield's consumer investing and backs crypto products that turn mature onchain rails into understandable, trusted consumer experiences. His published work focuses on mobile-native DeFi that hides operational complexity, engagement networks that verifiably connect protocols and users, and privacy-preserving identity that protects human participation as AI agents proliferate. He evaluates both private companies and liquid tokens through product-market fit, token value capture, team execution, macro structure, and network effects.
Investment Director
AppWorks
Check: Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Sophie's personal allocation range.
Sophie backs Asian founders applying AI to transformative products and organizational models. Her current work spans personalized AI, gaming, agentic systems, and AI-enabled work; her broader investment record also favors founders digitizing large Southeast Asian industries. Her public-market background informs a disciplined lens on balanced growth: product-market fit first, steadily improving margins, an explicit path to profitability, and evidence strong enough to resist FOMO.
Partner
Collider Ventures
Check: No reliable official current check range was found. Collider publicly describes itself as an early-stage Web3 investor and accepts pitches at invest@collider.vc; third-party directory estimates conflict, so founders should confirm current vehicle, stage and sizing directly.
Eylon connects two decentralization theses: crypto-native individual sovereignty that minimizes centralized authority through technology, and Web3 collective empowerment that democratizes ownership and access. In practice he looks for non-consensus early-stage infrastructure capable of moving capital formation, markets and digital ownership onchain while remaining alert to the new choke points, governance hierarchies and risk created by ostensibly permissionless systems.
Investor
Blockchain Capital
Check: No personal check range or deal authority is disclosed. Jonah is an Investor focused on research and new opportunities at a multi-stage firm; public work and academic research demonstrate thesis depth, not a standard individual ticket.
Jonah studies where value and power accrue as crypto infrastructure matures. He argues that open rails can unbundle closed payment networks; user-owning applications can compress infrastructure margins; software agents may erase human-facing UX moats or create entirely new machine activity; and corporate-controlled chains impose platform and distribution risks on builders. His technical work extends to MEV, execution tickets and protocol value distribution.
Venture Partner
CV VC
Check: CV VC publicly invests up to $500,000 in qualifying pre-seed and seed companies. CV Pad and launchpad transactions can have different token terms; no reliable public source establishes Julien's personal allocation authority.
Julien brings a technical, crypto-native lens to early blockchain and AI opportunities. His background spans building a Big Four blockchain practice, operating at a Layer-1 company, bootstrapping an eight-figure fund, and leading investment decisions for a token launchpad. Within CV VC's current mandate, the strongest fit is defensible frontier infrastructure—especially AI and autonomous systems intersecting with verifiable ownership, transactions, and coordination—rather than token narrative alone.

Partner
Kleiner Perkins
Check: No personal or standard firm-wide check range is published. Ilya's official portfolio spans early and growth investments; Kleiner disclosed that its 2019 Series A investment in Rippling was $25M, but that one transaction is not a general range or personal limit.
Ilya invests in technology and novel business models capable of fundamentally reshaping industries. His portfolio connects AI-native professional work, enterprise operating systems, mathematical and software agents, physical AI, autonomous defense, logistics, healthspan, biotech, and financial infrastructure. A recurring pattern is a product-centric company that can redefine a large workflow and pair a technical discontinuity with a new go-to-market or business model.
Investor
CoinFund
Check: No personal check range is disclosed. CoinFund's live profile explicitly says there are no investments led by Jonathan yet, while crediting him with establishing vault and new-markets theses and contributing to Irys research; do not present him as an independently proven deal lead.
Jonathan studies how better on-chain financial and data rails enable agents, vaults and new markets. His thesis work connects composable financial infrastructure to automated commerce, and programmable storage to verifiable AI training, licensing and intellectual-property workflows. His restructuring experience on Voyager and BlockFi also gives him a failure-oriented view of custody, leverage and financial architecture.
Partner
CoinFund
Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. CoinFund attributes pre-seed, seed, and Series A deals to Einar, but disclosed round totals are company financings and not his personal allocation authority.
Einar backs foundational technology that decentralizes scarce AI resources or rebuilds financial rails onchain. His portfolio connects open compute and model ownership, verifiable AI, permanent data, cross-chain liquidity, stablecoin payments, and institutional prediction-market infrastructure. He favors technically ambitious early teams addressing a structural bottleneck, with a credible path from an initial developer or institutional wedge to an open network that scales access, freedom, and knowledge.
Investor
BoxGroup
Check: BoxGroup publicly invests up to $1M and reserves capital for follow-ons. No reliable public source specifies a separate personal check-size range for Holley.
Holley invests at formation stage within BoxGroup's generalist, people-first mandate. Her recent public activity and graduate technical coursework show particular engagement with AI agents, personalization, multimodal systems, creativity, and products where technical capability is matched by taste. Because her investing record is still emerging publicly, these are current signals rather than a fixed or exclusive thesis.
Partner
Kleiner Perkins
Check: No verified personal check range or current firm-wide standard range is publicly stated on Kleiner Perkins' site. Aditya's official portfolio includes both early and growth investments; round size and signing authority should be confirmed directly.
Aditya backs the infrastructure and applications that make AI useful inside enterprises. His disclosed portfolio spans long-horizon agent infrastructure, AI-first site reliability, conversational data analysis, enterprise accounting automation, generative-internet visibility, model infrastructure, enterprise search, and streaming data. His product and engineering background supports a practical lens on whether a technical capability maps to an urgent workflow and can scale across demanding organizations.
