Michael Mignano

General Partner

92%

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Michael is early-stage focused within USV's collaborative partnership; USV makes investment decisions as a group without a formal vote.

Michael is an idea-driven early-stage investor and former product founder who looks for non-obvious shifts before they become consensus. His current AI thesis favors companies that restructure a market by transferring expert capability from gatekeepers to customers—not software that merely automates the incumbent process. USV describes him as curious, founder-respectful, willing to explore weird edges, and comfortable being wrong in pursuit of what comes next.

Andy Weissman

Managing Partner

92%

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. USV describes itself as an earliest-stage generalist investor and makes decisions collaboratively without a vote; round fit should be confirmed with the partnership rather than attributed to Andy alone.

Andy invests at the edge of large markets under transformative pressure. His long-running thesis work centers on engaged networks, differentiated user experience, and defensibility created by network effects, then expands to enabling infrastructure, market-specific networks, and open decentralized data. More recent writing examines patient-centered healthcare and trust, openness, and native behavior in AI.

Check: ex/ante does not publish a standard person-specific check range; its debut fund was announced at $33M.

Anastasia Uglova is listed in a Ecosystem capacity at ex/ante. The firm does not publish a person-specific investment thesis for this role; the profile therefore preserves the role distinction and uses the firm's public mandate only as shared context.

Jared Hecht

Venture Partner

90%

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: No individual check range is published. USV's firm-wide range is $1 million to $30 million, but Jared's special-advisor placement does not establish personal decision authority; the partnership discusses investments collectively without a vote.

Jared brings a repeat founder's consumer-product lens to networks at the intersection of AI and crypto. His published thesis favors strange, initially fringe behaviors that create genuinely new social and creative formats; AI tools that lower creation barriers; transparent economics that reward creators; open social protocols where users own identity, content, audience, and economic activity; and vertical search products that make expert knowledge broadly useful.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Rebecca Kaden

Managing Partner

90%

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: USV publishes a firm-wide check range of $1 million to $30 million and invests from the earliest stages through follow-ons. It does not publish Rebecca's individual authority, and the partnership makes decisions collectively without a vote.

Rebecca invests at the edge of large markets, with a consumer and product lens sharpened by USV's network-effects thesis. Her current view links abundant AI intelligence, cheaper hardware, sensors, and edge processing: newly reachable data from bodies, infrastructure, environments, and machines can power self-improving products and physical systems. She also expects open agent infrastructure to enable a wave of useful, creative, networked consumer applications outside dominant model platforms.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Pirkka Palomäki

Founding Partner

90%

Maki.vc (Web3)

Check: Maki targets first rounds below EUR 5 million and supports consequent rounds; this is a firm round criterion, not Pirkka's personal check range. Active new investments come from Fund III.

Pirkka backs ambitious Nordic teams at their first rounds, combining an operator's technology and scaling perspective with Maki's sector-agnostic, non-consensus approach. His attributed investments favor experienced teams rebuilding large industries with scalable platforms—payments, sustainable construction materials, physical-world digital twins, enterprise systems, and other deep or brand-driven technologies.

Pauliina Martikainen

Managing Partner

90%

Maki.vc (Web3)

Check: Maki's stated sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million from day zero; this describes target round size, not Pauliina's personal check authority. The firm continues to support later rounds selectively.

Pauliina leads a sector-agnostic Nordic first-round strategy centered on exceptional technical founders with global ambition. Her attributed portfolio work spans clinical sensing, autonomous-mobility safety, consumer products, voice agents, quantum, fintech, and sustainability. She favors non-consensus decisions, products rooted in a clear user problem, strong design and customer experience, and teams capable of building category leaders from the Nordics.

Peter Hébert

Partner and Co-Founder

90%

Lux Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Lux invests early and can support companies across their development, but its USD 7B under management and individual financing totals are not Peter's personal allocation limits.

Peter seeks scientifically and technologically ambitious ventures attempting what most people think will not work but could become indispensable if they succeed. He is a generalist across technology and healthcare, with a particular record in multidisciplinary platforms—robotics, software, data, imaging, AI, and biology—that expand human capability, create new categories, and convert substantial technical risk into outsized societal and economic value.

Keith Rabois

Managing Director

90%

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Keith invests across stages, and disclosed financings across his portfolio should not be treated as a standard personal allocation range.

Keith is a stage- and sector-flexible investor who looks for exceptional founders with decisive judgment, high agency, a contrarian insight, and the ability to recruit unusually strong talent. His record favors category-defining networks and platforms—payments, marketplaces, commerce, financial software, and technology-enabled services—where operational excellence and founder-led intensity can compound into market leadership.

Neeraj Arora

CEO India, MENA & Managing Director

90%

General Catalyst

Check: No personal check-size range is published. His record includes seed investments and large later financings, but disclosed round totals belong to company financings and are not a personal range.

Neeraj backs ambitious founders building category-defining businesses in India, MENA, and the corridors linking those regions with global markets. His approach combines Venture Highway's earliest-stage founder access with General Catalyst's resilience themes: financial inclusion, health assurance, domestic defense and industrial capability, energy infrastructure, locally relevant consumer products, and regulated platforms that modernize large GDP-driving sectors.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Jeannette zu Fürstenberg

President & Managing Director

90%

General Catalyst

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Her public record spans seed investments through large follow-on rounds, but total financing sizes and General Catalyst's assets are not personal check parameters.

Jeannette is a founder-led generalist investing to strengthen European prosperity and resilience through technology. She backs ambitious companies from ideation onward across AI, defense, energy, industrial transformation, enterprise, and consumer markets, connecting startups with established industry. Her Global Resilience lens focuses on owning critical systems of power, scaling European technical talent, and commercializing technologies until they can thrive without permanent subsidy.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Alyssa Chen

Accelerator Director

90%

AppWorks

Check: No personal check size or investment allocation authority is published for Alyssa. Her route for founders is AppWorks' accelerator and its corporate accelerator programs; applicants should verify each current program's funding, equity and eligibility terms rather than assuming the firm's fund parameters apply.

Alyssa's operating thesis is that an accelerator should be a practical lab where founders repeatedly test, learn and build with peers, mentors and corporate partners. She leads AppWorks Accelerator plus Wistron Accelerator and TINC Accelerator and manages a founder network spanning nine Asian markets. Her historical program work helped orient AppWorks' accelerator toward AI, blockchain and Southeast Asia and establish hybrid and vertical corporate formats. This is a founder-development and ecosystem mandate, not a documented personal investment thesis.

Elicia McDonald

CEO & Partner

89%

AirTree Ventures (Web3)

Check: Neither Airtree nor Elicia publishes her personal check range or decision authority. Airtree describes itself as seed-first and able to support companies through their journey; a historic Fund III article mentioned a $200k seed entry point, but that is firm- and vintage-specific rather than a current personal range.

Elicia backs highly ambitious, resilient founders from Australia and New Zealand, often beginning at pre-seed or seed and supporting them across later rounds. Her disclosed portfolio spans AI-enabled enterprise software, workforce intelligence, healthcare, agricultural and climate technology, and B2B SaaS. Her writing emphasizes technology's capacity for positive impact, founder ambition, durable relationships, product love, domain depth, and accepting concentrated venture risk in pursuit of outlier outcomes.

Brett Berson

Partner

First Round Capital

Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range is published for Brett.

Brett studies how thousands of small choices compound into an exceptional company. He backs very early builders with contrarian insight and an outlier capability, then works at the decision level rather than prescribing the finished product. His disclosed investments—Clay, Stedi, and Persona—show an interest in foundational B2B workflows: flexible go-to-market tooling, healthcare eligibility and claims APIs, and identity verification.

Bill Trenchard

First Round Capital

Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range is published for Bill.

Bill looks for pre-product-market-fit founders who reason from first principles: they decompose a complicated system to its atomic unit, find hidden leverage in overlooked mechanics, and build an unconventional solution from the inside out. His documented portfolio spans data and enterprise software, physical security, logistics, AI infrastructure, insurance claims, accounting automation, IT automation, healthcare access, robotics, and legal services.

AngelPre-SeedSeed

Dr. Bilal Baloch

Partner

88%

Shorooq Partners

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. Shorooq's official equity strategy spans pre-seed through late-stage growth; the Presight–Shorooq AI Fund is a $100M global platform. Treat vehicle size and stage coverage as firm-level context, not Bilal's personal authorization or a promised check size.

Bilal backs globally relevant AI companies where technical capability can be translated into real deployment. His operator and value-creation lens emphasizes more than capital: access to compute, data and enterprise environments; a credible path from research to commercialization; and locally rooted support that can create durable global businesses. He also works on the institutional conditions for MENA technology exits and capital-market depth.

Sven Strohband

Partner and Managing Director

88%

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Khosla invests from seed through growth; company round totals and the firm's assets are not Sven's personal check parameters.

Sven backs technically ambitious companies that can create new industries or unlock novel user experiences. His engineering lens favors frontier AI, robotics, autonomy, aerospace, developer infrastructure, climate, and other atoms-plus-software businesses where improved simulation, computation, manufacturing, or foundational models make a previously government-scale or uneconomic problem tractable for a startup.

Lukas Etter

Co-CIO & General Partner

88%

CV VC

Check: CV VC's published early-stage program invests up to $500,000 in qualifying pre-seed and seed companies with an MVP and initial traction. This is a firm program limit, not Lukas's personal allocation range; other vehicles and follow-ons may differ.

Lukas backs early frontier-technology companies building a decentralized and tokenized economy, with a current emphasis on traditional businesses moving onto blockchain rails and the convergence of blockchain with AI. He favors working products with measurable utility, economic or social impact, and operationally credible paths from early traction to institutional or global adoption.

Nadia Cochinwala

Principal

88%

Kleiner Perkins

Check: No personal check range or signing authority is published. Nadia's current portfolio includes early and growth investments; individual company round sizes are not a personal range.

Nadia invests across enterprise applications and infrastructure, from AI compute and networking to vertical AI in healthcare, finance, sales, coding, and productivity. Her official portfolio spans both early and growth stages and emphasizes systems that meet domain-specific standards—clinical evidence, financial auditability, low-latency media, safe autonomy, or enterprise context—rather than generic AI capability alone.

Leigh Marie Braswell

Kleiner Perkins

Check: No verified personal check range or standard firm-wide range is published. Her official portfolio spans early and growth investments; disclosed company rounds are not personal allocation limits.

Leigh Marie backs AI infrastructure and applications, with a particular eye for the systems that close the gap between frontier-model capability and reliable, mission-critical use. Her portfolio includes tailored enterprise AI, agent workforces, learned memory, runbook automation, AI sales, developer infrastructure, databases, observability, identity, biopharma knowledge work, and financial products. Her Scale AI background gives her direct fluency in data and ML workflows for autonomy and robotics.

SeedSeries AEarly Stage

Samir Kaul

Founding Partner & Managing Director

88%

Khosla Ventures

Check: In a 2020 first-person interview, Samir described a typical Khosla Seed Fund investment as roughly $1M–$2M, used as option-value capital to remove key risks before a larger Series A/B decision. Khosla's current Main Fund covers early through later stages, including total financings above $10M. These are historical/firm-level guideposts, not a guaranteed current personal range.

Samir prefers large, known markets where a radical technical risk can produce a 10x-better product. He treats small seed checks as option-value experiments: identify a potential billion-dollar outcome, use capital to remove a binary technical, team, or market-development risk, then redo the diligence and concentrate capital if the evidence improves. He rejects mechanical pro-rata, values non-consensus decisions, and believes uncapped upside justifies bold technical bets rather than conservative hit-rate optimization.

IncubationPre-SeedSeed

Alex Morgan

Partner

88%

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check range is published. Khosla's Seed Fund supports science and business-model experiments, historically often with roughly $1M–$2M according to a 2020 firm interview, while its Main Fund covers early through later stages. These are firm-level references, not Alex's authority.

Alex invests where computation, biology, and healthcare converge. His scientific and clinical background supports a systems view of biomarker discovery, therapeutics, diagnostics, personalized medicine, neurotechnology, connected devices, and AI-enabled care. He favors important health outcomes and technologies that can automate expensive or inconsistent processes, increase access, and create reproducible, lower-cost care—not science detached from delivery and economics.

IncubationPre-SeedSeed

Nimi Katragadda

Partner

88%

BoxGroup

Check: BoxGroup currently publishes a firm-wide maximum investment of $1M. Historical sources reported smaller firm checks and third-party profiles estimate $250K–$750K for Nimi, but no primary source confirms a current personal range.

Nimi is a generalist early-stage Partner with a long-running, publicly documented focus on healthcare and life sciences, fintech, marketplaces, and software. Her current activity extends that lens into AI-native healthcare, scientific agents, enterprise AI, and the financial infrastructure surrounding AI use. She applies BoxGroup's founder-first philosophy while testing whether the operating model, retention, sequencing, and economics can support the founder's category-scale ambition.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Sophie Chiu

Investment Director

88%

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.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Alana Palmedo

Managing Partner

87%

Paradigm

Check: Paradigm invests at every stage, from first check through public markets. Its fourth fund is $1.2 billion, but neither the firm nor Alana publishes a personal check range; the fund size is therefore not treated as her check authority.

Alana co-leads a research- and builder-led strategy that backs ambitious technical founders from first check through public markets. Paradigm began in crypto and now targets the fastest-moving technology frontiers, including AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems, space and defense, while continuing to invest in crypto-native markets and financial infrastructure.

Wilson Tukiainen

Investment Manager

87%

Maki.vc (Web3)

Check: Maki's sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million; this describes the firm's target round, not Wilson's personal authority. He sources and evaluates opportunities within that day-zero mandate.

Wilson sources and evaluates Nordic first-round opportunities across Maki's sector-agnostic mandate, with a research-driven lens and responsibility for ESG development. His first publicly attributed 2026 investment highlights critical deep-tech infrastructure: technically defensible systems addressing a rapidly worsening physical-world problem, with government and commercial customers and a concrete path from development into operational proof.

Pre-SeedSeedFirst Round

David Weiden

Founding Partner and Managing Director

87%

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Khosla Ventures invests from seed through growth, but fund assets and portfolio round sizes are not David's personal minimum or maximum.

David backs internet software and services with the potential to become large, durable businesses. His operator writing emphasizes product-management accountability, quantitative decision-making, and proving genuine product-market fit before scaling sales or spend. He is especially credible where category ambition can be paired with disciplined product, go-to-market, and unit-economics execution.

SeedEarly StageSeries A

Andrzej Dzius

Partner and Chief Technology Officer

87%

Greenfield Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Greenfield's venture strategy spans pre-seed through later rounds; disclosed portfolio round totals are not Andrzej's personal allocation limits.

Andrzej brings an operator-CTO lens to Greenfield's crypto portfolio. His current published work emphasizes privacy as general-purpose infrastructure and backs decentralized encrypted computation that can make sensitive finance, healthcare, AI, and enterprise workloads usable without exposing raw data. His role is technical and portfolio-facing rather than publicly described as a conventional sourcing mandate.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Nick Grossman

Partner

87%

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. USV invests at the earliest stages and supports companies throughout their journey; investment decisions are made collaboratively by discussion rather than individual vote.

Nick's work connects open, decentralized systems with the infrastructure needed for the next computing cycle. His current 'Rebel Alliance' thesis argues that agentic AI will favor a modular ecosystem around foundation models—spanning orchestration, harnesses, memory, browsers, routing, identity, and payments—because production agents cross services, models, data environments, and trust boundaries.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Sanjot Malhi

Partner

87%

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal standard check-size range is published. Northzone has disclosed leading or co-leading large company rounds, but those totals are not Sanjot's individual allocation range and should not be presented as one.

Sanjot leads Northzone's growth strategy. He looks for companies with proven product-market fit, repeatable go-to-market, viable unit economics, distinctive product IP, mission-critical customer value, global platform potential, ecosystem influence, and defensibility that compounds. His process favors differentiated research and relationships built over time rather than auction-driven consensus investing.

Series BSeries CGrowth

Ren CF

General Partner

87%

Electric Capital

Check: Electric Capital's current website publishes a $1M–$15M+ range from pre-seed through Series A; its January 2026 user-owned-technology thesis says it invests $1M–$20M in that theme. No separate personal range is published for Ren.

Ren backs deeply technical, trust-minimized systems and the builders who can turn them into usable infrastructure. His work combines protocol security, consensus game theory, smart-contract code analysis, developer activity, liquidity, volatility, and market structure. A central test in his published thinking is whether a protocol truly compresses verification cost for a sufficiently standardized asset or interaction—and whether it can overcome the friction, coordination, and funding disadvantages that usually pull products back toward centralized platforms.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Sean Whitney

Principal

87%

Craft Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range is published. His disclosed Craft investments include seed and Series A rounds, while his earlier Figma work included advising and investing in PLG SaaS from pre-seed through Series C; these are stage indicators, not personal check limits.

Sean backs technically ambitious design, developer, and bottom-up software that gives professionals greater control rather than reducing their work to generic automation. His Figma experience informs a patient PLG lens: build a deeply integrated product, let self-serve usage and customer data reveal the enterprise motion, and add sales at the right moment. Recent creative-AI work emphasizes open ecosystems, programmable workflows, proprietary formats or data, and durable orchestration layers that persist as underlying models change.

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 Michelle's personal allocation range.

Michelle backs technology that modernizes large, operationally fragmented Southeast Asian industries. Her investment cases combine a clear structural tailwind with deep founder-market fit, resilience through adversity, measurable operating improvement, and a path from a focused workflow to a broader platform. Her M&A and accounting background adds attention to cost structure, cash flow, asset intensity, and scalable unit economics.

Norrsken VC

Check: Norrsken VC currently states €1M–€10M early-stage and growth tickets. This is the firm's range, not Tove's personal promise. Confirm initial ticket, follow-on reserves, ownership and stage with the team.

Tove backs ambitious European technology companies whose commercial growth directly improves outcomes for people or planet. Her Bain private-equity background and early impact roles add rigorous market and diligence discipline. Current health-AI work highlights companies that combine deep sector expertise, proprietary data and measurable time or cost improvements in critical systems such as clinical trials.

Tess van Stekelenburg

Partner

86%

Lux Capital

Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Tess invests at both early and growth stages and participates in Lux company creation; founders should confirm round fit directly rather than infer an allocation from fund size or disclosed company rounds.

Tess is a technically trained generalist investing where AI, biology, aerospace, and the physical world intersect. She seeks engineers and scientists turning frontier research into companies, with particular interest in computational methods that make biology more engineerable, the data and model bottlenecks behind scientific discovery, and high-consequence systems such as biodefense.

Shahin Farshchi, PhD

Partner

86%

Lux Capital

Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Shahin invests from early conviction through enduring scale and has co-founded companies; financing requirements are opportunity-specific and should be confirmed directly.

Shahin creates and backs generational frontier companies that endow people and machines with new capabilities. An engineer and founder, he looks across AI, chips, compute, autonomy, aerospace, robotics, biotech, defense, energy, and infrastructure for radical underlying technologies—not diminishing improvements—that can unlock previously impossible products. He invests early, may help form companies, and supports founders through technical proof, customer trust, manufacturing, and scale.

Elijah Fox

Investment Partner

85%

Variant Fund

Check: Variant does not publish a reliable personal check range. Elijah works at the earliest stages, but founders should confirm fund vehicle, allocation, ownership, lead/co-lead appetite, token/equity structure and reserves with the partnership.

Elijah backs technically ambitious founders building new mechanisms, markets and infrastructure. His work joins crypto market design with a widening AI thesis: mature financial systems need expressive, risk-aware primitives beyond speculation, while specialized AI can beat general models when domain reasoning is idiosyncratic and output quality can be objectively verified. Across both, infrastructure should expand user agency and support real applications.

Grace Isford

Partner

85%

Lux Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Lux's USD 7B under management and disclosed company rounds are not Grace's personal range; she is explicitly described as a first-check and early investor.

Grace backs computational-science companies where software or AI transforms difficult physical, institutional, or technical systems. She looks for first-check opportunities in infrastructure and applications, including model platforms, developer tools, generative media, robotics, and AI-native enterprise workflows. Her product lens starts with a painful real-world experience and asks whether new fundamental technology enables an excellent end-to-end product, rather than an AI feature bolted onto an old workflow.

Check: Lux does not publish a dependable personal check range for Deena. Her investments span stages, including first institutional rounds and later healthcare financings; founders should confirm vehicle, initial ticket, ownership, reserves and stage fit with the partnership.

Deena backs transformative technologies that improve health, access and economic opportunity, often with extraordinary underdog founders attacking problems conventional pattern recognition overlooks. Her health thesis pairs breakthrough science and AI with clinical value, infrastructure and community delivery: technology matters only when it improves outcomes for populations historically underserved by fragmented systems.

Check: Maki Fund III currently states €300K–€3M initial tickets in pre-seed and seed rounds below €5M, with follow-on reserves. This is the active firm's range, not Ilkka's personal or current new-deal authority; his stated remit focuses on existing portfolio companies.

Ilkka co-built Maki around entrepreneurial DNA, technical depth, non-consensus first-round decisions and Nordic founders with global category ambition. His documented portfolio work spans gaming, smartphone diagnostics, industrial ultrasound, simulation and glasses-free mixed reality—teams translating difficult science or engineering into a product with striking customer value. His current role is portfolio advisor rather than the lead for new investments.

Norrsken VC

Check: Norrsken VC's current live range is €1M–€10M across early stage and selected growth. It is a firm range, not David's personal check. Exact sizing, ownership and reserves depend on the applicable fund and company.

David backs scalable technology businesses that solve major problems and can become enduring category leaders. His long operating, angel and board history adds a company-scaling lens, while his current energy writing argues that Europe's security and competitiveness depend on clean domestic electrification. The investment standard pairs venture-scale economics with measurable impact and long-term operational resilience.

Shorooq Partners

Check: No personal check range is published. Shorooq invests regionally from idea/pre-seed through late-stage growth via different vehicles. Founders should identify the stage-appropriate fund and not infer a check size from Yousef's Partner title or from announced company rounds.

Yousef backs technology businesses that can become durable leaders in Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region. His public portfolio and Intelmatix commentary point to a value-investor lens: strong founders, defensible technology, a locally important problem, evidence of commercial demand, and the capacity to unlock productivity or access in sectors such as fintech, enterprise AI, retail, logistics and real estate.

Venture Partner

Woodstock Fund

Check: Woodstock does not publish a personal check range for Prashanth on its site. Third-party databases estimate firm ranges, but those estimates and portfolio round sizes are not treated as evidence of his individual authority.

Prashanth works within Woodstock's research-led early- and growth-stage Web3 strategy. The firm's three lenses are convergence, financialisation, and virtualisation: interoperable infrastructure that links web3 with traditional and emerging technology; regulated, risk-managed financial rails that bring real users and sticky capital onchain; and gaming or creator experiences where virtual ownership improves the product. His institutional background is especially relevant to capital markets, regulation, risk, and the bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.

Sfermion

Check: Sfermion does not publish a first-party check-size range or Dan's individual authority. Public deal records show participation in seed and Series A rounds, but round totals and third-party estimates are not treated as his personal check size.

Dan co-leads Sfermion's investment strategy around the experiential internet: founders, companies, and digital assets that merge physical and digital life through web3, AI, AR, and VR. The firm's durable behavioral lens is creation, connection, and competition, with a portfolio orientation toward digital media, entertainment, games, creator infrastructure, and the systems that let communities own and exchange digital value.

Albert Wenger

Partner

Union Square Ventures (USV)

Check: USV states that the firm writes $1 million to $30 million checks and invests from the earliest stages through the full company journey. This is a firm-wide range, not Albert's personal check authority; decisions are discussed collectively without a formal vote.

Albert is a thesis-driven generalist investing at the edge of large markets under technological and societal pressure. His current work emphasizes AI-enabled scientific discovery, robotics that can operate reliably in complex physical environments, resilient energy and civil infrastructure, and products that expand human agency. Across these areas he looks for compounding data or participation loops and systems that turn rapidly improving technical capabilities into durable real-world utility.

Michiel Kotting

Partner

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Michiel invests through Northzone across early and selected later rounds; disclosed financing totals are company rounds and do not establish an individual check range.

Michiel focuses on SaaS, healthcare, and AI, often where modern, collaborative, or intelligent software replaces complex legacy systems. His portfolio ranges from HR, manufacturing, architecture, logistics, and developer tools to healthcare and domain-specific foundation models. His founder advice is empirical: listen to the market and test, learn, and re-test quickly.

Principal

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Dominik's official focus is early stage within Northzone's multi-stage platform; disclosed company rounds should not be treated as his individual allocation range.

Dominik backs early-stage AI applications, vertical SaaS, and fintech. His portfolio and writing emphasize software for structurally underserved industries: frontline labor, managed service providers, construction, healthcare, compliance, software maintenance, and financial operations. He looks for founders with generational ambition and can relate to unconventional paths through his own military, insurance, and consulting background.

Lux Capital

Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Brandon invests at both early and growth stages; disclosed financing rounds, such as Hugging Face's $15M Series A, are total rounds and not his personal allocation range.

Brandon backs technical platforms and applications across software, AI, defense, and manufacturing. A recurring theme is open or developer-led infrastructure that turns frontier capability into production systems, paired with companies modernizing regulated or antiquated industries. His current portfolio spans open models and AI cloud, nature-inspired foundation models, coding agents, finance automation, defense autonomy, physical AI, autonomous factories, life-sciences R&D, security, data, and crypto infrastructure.

Nicolas Kiep

Investment Associate

CV VC

Check: CV VC publicly invests up to $500,000 in pre-seed and seed companies meeting its MVP and initial-traction criteria. No personal check-size authority is published for Nicolas.

Nicolas evaluates pre-seed and seed companies within CV VC's current frontier-technology mandate: AI-native automation, intelligent B2B systems, and programmable digital finance, with blockchain used where trust and authenticity matter. There is not enough first-person public material to assign him a narrower personal sector thesis; firm portfolio tags should be treated as team exposure, not personal ownership.

Venture Partner

85%

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.

Aristos Doxiadis

Big Pi Ventures

Check: No current personal check range: Aristos is Partner Emeritus and an official 2025 biography says he is not involved with Big Pi's later funds. Big Pi's current platform range is €0.5M–€30M across funds, but should not be attributed to him.

Aristos' historical investment lens combines strong technology, team, and market position with realistic commercialization targets. He favors research-based ventures that can bridge academia and industry, secure early adopters beyond a small home market, and use seed or Series A capital to build enough traction for international follow-on funding. His long private-equity career also brings attention to governance, business fundamentals, and social or economic impact.

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 Nathan's personal allocation range.

Nathan favors AI and software that hide technical complexity and remove customer friction. His product lens treats simplicity as a defensible outcome of customer obsession, opinionated design, disciplined feature choices, deep engineering, transparent pricing, and seamless integrations—not as superficial minimalism. His Southeast Asia investment and corporate-venture experience adds attention to local distribution, strategic partnerships, and scalable commercial execution.

AirTree Ventures (Web3)

Check: Neither Airtree nor Jackie publishes her personal check range or decision authority. The firm is seed-first and supports companies through later stages; individual portfolio round totals do not reveal Airtree's allocation or Jackie's authority.

Jackie backs Australia and New Zealand founders from very early product formation through scale. Her disclosed portfolio crosses AI and enterprise software, healthcare, fintech, consumer platforms, future-of-work tools, commerce, and purpose-led brands. Her investment notes repeatedly test market size and structural change, founder intensity and fit, customer love, defensible unit economics, resilience, and the ability to convert an initial wedge into a global company.

Tim Khoury

Deal Partner

84%

Lightspeed Faction

Check: Faction does not publish a standard check range or Tim's personal authority. The official mandate is Seed and Series A, across equity and tokens; public financing sizes are not Faction check sizes.

Tim is a crypto-native early-stage investor with an explicit interest at the intersection of crypto and AI. His WeatherXM work shows a demand-first DePIN lens: token incentives can coordinate distributed supply, but a network is only durable when there is an external customer for the data or service produced. That fits Faction's broader mandate to back useful blockchain systems across the stack rather than speculation for its own sake.

Y Combinator

Check: YC's current standard deal is $500K for each accepted company: $125K for 7% on a post-money SAFE plus $375K on an uncapped MFN SAFE, accompanied by YC's participation right. It is a program-wide deal, not David's personal angel range.

David's founder story centers on building a simple mobile product to massive reach, confronting weak long-term retention and monetization honestly, then following the strongest user behavior into a better product that became Google Photos. His lens favors technical founders who build quickly, notice what users actually value, distinguish downloads from durable engagement and can pivot without losing the underlying insight.

Check: No Kindle-specific check range is public. Craft's live portfolio attributes her to growth, Series A and Series B investments, but those stage labels do not reveal individual allocation authority or check size. Confirm current vehicle, ownership and lead/co-invest posture directly.

Kindle invests where AI or advanced technology becomes a mission-critical operating layer in large, regulated or technically demanding markets. Her attributed work spans AI medical knowledge, regulatory compliance, autonomous defense systems, biotechnology and neurotechnology, with a recurring emphasis on trusted domain data, expert workflows, demonstrable adoption and products capable of becoming the intelligence layer for an industry.

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Molly invests through Northzone across early and growth stages; disclosed rounds such as GovDash's $10M Series A are total financings, not her personal check range.

Molly backs vertical SaaS and AI across early and growth stages, with a transatlantic view of scaling B2B software. Her Northzone portfolio applies AI to rigorous, high-value workflows in government contracting, legal work, home services, and healthcare. She values pattern recognition but explicitly prizes the conviction to make a non-consensus move when the evidence warrants it.

SeedSeries AEarly Stage

Jessica Schultz

Partner

83%

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Jessica invests through Northzone's multi-stage funds; financing announcements report total rounds, not her personal allocation range.

Jessica backs product-led platforms and UX-driven software that use technology and intuitive experiences to disrupt traditional industries. Her operator lens emphasizes speed and momentum at company formation, then patient, conviction-based founder relationships. She is especially interested in growth loops embedded in product—onboarding, usage, community, and data—rather than growth purchased only through advertising.

Check: No personal check range or signing authority is published. Lucas participates across early and growth investments; disclosed company financings should not be treated as his personal range.

Lucas invests in enterprise software and cybersecurity across early and growth stages. His portfolio connects foundation models, data and enterprise AI, open-source software security, managed security, offensive-security automation, operational resilience, physical safety, autonomy, defense, and space. His software private-equity background adds a durable-business lens to technically ambitious companies.

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.

First Round Capital

Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range or signing authority is published for Maggie.

Maggie's documented lens is research depth: she respects founders who do the work required to understand a problem at first principles and prefers to dig alongside them. Her technical background in signal processing, deep learning, automated pricing, and fraud detection makes AI/ML systems and technically demanding software natural areas of fluency; First Round has not published a personal portfolio or narrower standalone thesis for her.

David backs early-stage frontier-technology companies that make enterprise intelligence programmable or rebuild how value and trust move. CV VC's current strategy centers on automation, intelligent B2B, and digital finance, with AI-native software and blockchain acting as complementary foundations. His own public commentary emphasizes useful infrastructure over speculation, safe movement of capital into innovation, institutional adoption, durable systems, and globally relevant companies formed in Europe, the United States, or the Middle East.

Big Pi Ventures

Check: Firm-wide: Big Pi publishes €0.5M–€30M equity tickets across early-stage and growth funds; its dedicated Growth I strategy leads €7M–€20M+ investments. The site does not publish Nick's personal range, so stage and fund fit must be confirmed per opportunity.

Nick sees biology and robotics as major technology waves and looks for companies using high-quality real-world data, deep technical capability, and customer evidence to automate tasks previously considered impossible. More broadly, he believes Greece's overlooked engineering and biology talent plus its diaspora can support global companies—provided founders internationalize early, raise their ambition, and pair innovation with business development and scalable operations.

Check: Growth-fund level: Big Pi Growth I states that it leads with €7M–€20M+ per company. Big Pi's overall platform spans €0.5M–€30M across funds. Neither range is published as Fanis's personal allocation authority.

Fanis supports European technology scale-ups moving toward market leadership with growth capital plus operational and financial expertise. His background in TMT investment banking and as FlexCar's finance leader supports a value-creation lens centered on financing structure, valuation, capital efficiency, international expansion, organic growth, and selective M&A rather than capital alone.

Northzone (Web3)

Check: Not publicly disclosed. Northzone states that the firm invests from Seed through Growth and can remain a partner through pre-IPO; Wendy's current profile labels her personal focus as Early and says she likes to work with founders from as early as seed.

Wendy backs companies that change consumer behavior and expand the economic pie by capturing neglected externalities. She studies technology through people and behavior change, looking for a valuable position in a shifting value chain and a product capable of profound systemic change. Her hypothesis-led process separates factual and emotional evidence, makes assumptions explicit, challenges them through diligence, and still requires a differentiated leap of faith about fund-returning potential.

Diana works with technical founders building frontier AI, robotics and hard technology. Her Escher Reality and Niantic experience combines zero-to-one infrastructure with deployment at consumer scale, producing a lens that looks for a real engineering unlock, a specific high-value workflow, fast technical iteration and a product path that turns research capability into something users can adopt.

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Pascual invests at early stage through Northzone; founders should confirm current round fit directly and should not infer his allocation from portfolio-company financing totals.

Pascual focuses on early-stage AI, fintech, healthcare, and vertical SaaS, with particular interest in products that use growing data availability and improved computation to transform an industry. His portfolio spans AI for legal work, medical analysis, debt collection, sales, payments, and mental healthcare, indicating an applied, industry-specific orientation.

Alessandro focuses on early-stage companies across the AI stack. His named Northzone portfolio spans AI-native infrastructure and applications—Duvo.ai, MicroAGI, Riff, and SolveAI—alongside consumer company Yope. His own pitch criterion is unusually direct: contagious founder energy paired with exceptional clarity of thought.

Jeff Fluhr

Venture Partner

82%

Craft Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Craft attributes investments from seed through growth to Jeff, but public round totals are company financings and not his personal allocation authority.

Jeff specializes in marketplaces, particularly vertical models that go deeper than horizontal incumbents. He evaluates density, liquidity, trust, network effects, take rate, gross profit, and capital-efficient growth, and has extended that operating lens into payments and AI applications. His recent Venture Partner transition preserves an early-stage, marketplace-oriented role while Craft's broader strategy shifts toward later stages and other categories.

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Public Craft examples involving Lainy include led seed, Series A, and Series C investments; company financing totals should not be interpreted as her personal check authority.

Lainy backs software and marketplaces that modernize complex vertical workflows. Her cases favor founder-market fit, a painful operational wedge, simple products built on technically difficult systems, and distribution that compounds through workflow adoption or network effects. Across logistics, work management, healthcare, labor, and creative tools, she looks for products that turn fragmented manual activity into an integrated platform and make a professional capability accessible to more users.

Kevin backs early- and late-stage software companies where a major platform shift creates a new security or infrastructure control point. His recent work emphasizes runtime-first cloud security, autonomous offensive and defensive systems, non-human identity, agent access, endpoint visibility, and control of agentic software. He looks for category-defining technical architectures, rapid product velocity, deep customer pull, and teams capable of expanding a focused wedge into a large enterprise platform.

Marco backs exceptional teams with Greek or Southeast European leverage that can become global technology leaders. His operator history and portfolio favor products with technology at the core, defensible advantages, international markets, and teams capable of learning continuously as the company scales. He treats the regional talent base and diaspora as a network for building globally, not a boundary on ambition.
