B2B SaaS

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.

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.

Norrsken Impact Fund

Check: Norrsken VC publicly states €1M–€10M early-stage and growth tickets. This is a firm-level range, not proof of Alexander's personal or unilateral approval authority.

Alexander backs scalable software and AI that modernize economically important, under-digitized industries while creating measurable environmental or social impact. His recent work around Terra Labs, Endra and Vind AI emphasizes exceptional technical teams, large incumbent markets, demonstrated efficiency gains and products that can become infrastructure for an industry rather than narrow point solutions.

Craft Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range or deal-lead authority is published. Craft's fund sizes and announced company rounds are not a defensible proxy for J Zac's individual allocation authority.

J Zac contributes an operator and product perspective to Craft's SaaS and marketplace investing. His public profile centers on building people-management software at Lattice, board work at Vanta, and angel investments in workflow, health, compliance, data, and productivity companies. The evidence supports a focus on founder and product judgment, enterprise usability, and scaling software organizations, but Craft publishes no more specific personal thesis.

Y Combinator

Check: YC's live standard deal is $500K for every accepted company: $125K on a post-money SAFE for 7% plus $375K on an uncapped MFN SAFE, with a future participation right. This is YC's program deal, not Brad's personal check, and founders should read the current official terms before applying.

Brad helps very early founders move from idea to a launched product users want, then build the fundraising, hiring and customer-development habits needed to survive. His Perfect Audience background and YC teaching focus point to practical evaluation of distribution, ideal customer, conversion to paid use, capital efficiency and whether a founding team learns quickly enough to find product-market fit.
