Northzone (Web3)

Check: No current personal check range or active fund mandate is public. Historical Northzone investments include seed and Series A through later follow-ons, but third-party Northzone range estimates are stale and do not establish present authority. Confirm current capacity directly.

At Northzone, Markus invested across enterprise applications, infrastructure, developer products and healthcare, with a strong DACH footprint. His operating experience at digital-health company Kry shaped an appetite for founders modernizing regulated markets despite entrenched incentives. Later deals show a widening lens: Reonic digitizes renewable-energy installers; Duvo automates exception-heavy retail operations; CuspAI applies generative models and physics to materials discovery; Black Forest Labs builds frontier visual intelligence. Across them, the common pattern is deep domain experience, a clear operational bottleneck and software or AI that changes an established value chain.

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.

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 Todd.

Todd backs technical founders who can turn complex technology into an elegant power tool and is unusually focused on the mechanics of reaching product-market fit. His disclosed portfolio—fal, Parallel, Town, Ploy, Artemis, Actively, and Noon—centers on generative-media infrastructure, AI-native software, agentic products, security, sales reasoning, website automation, and design-to-code workflows.

Chemistry

Check: Chemistry leads early-stage rounds with commitments up to $30M, according to its official company description.

Bohan Lou invests or supports investments through Chemistry's published strategy: Lead concentrated early-stage investments in software founders who combine technical expertise with strong commercial instincts, with the whole firm supporting each company.

Mark Goldberg invests or supports investments through Chemistry's published strategy: Lead concentrated early-stage investments in software founders who combine technical expertise with strong commercial instincts, with the whole firm supporting each company.

Paradigm

Check: No personal check range or investment authority is published for Storm. Paradigm invests from first check through public markets, but Storm's official remit is frontier data-science and data-engineering research, not a stated personal allocation range.

Storm evaluates decentralized systems through high-resolution data, reproducible measurement, and open tooling. His work spans Ethereum state and history growth, node performance, market-volume accounting, prediction-market visualization, optimization, and forensic analysis. The recurring principle is to replace imprecise narratives with correctly defined metrics, controlled benchmarks, and accessible datasets before deciding where a system's real bottleneck or opportunity lies.

Kristina Shen invests or supports investments through Chemistry's published strategy: Lead concentrated early-stage investments in software founders who combine technical expertise with strong commercial instincts, with the whole firm supporting each company.

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.

Paradigm

Check: No personal check range or decision authority is published. Paradigm invests from first check through public markets, but Caitlin's current collaborator status and the firm's capital base do not establish an individual check size.

Caitlin is a Paradigm venture partner and Stripe zero-to-one strategist whose published investment perspective centers on crypto's ability to improve online coordination and create internet-native economies. Her current Paradigm work is best understood as a collaborator and ecosystem/talent lens, with stated interest in markets, incentive design, distributed systems, developer tooling, applications, and agentic commerce.

Lightspeed Faction

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A through both equity and tokens; the firm's reported fund size and company round totals are not Banafsheh's personal range.

Banafsheh backs early blockchain companies and token networks that create fundamental utility. Her public discussions emphasize the infrastructure or 'plumbing' of crypto, globally relevant financial systems, and matching an application to the chain whose security, performance, and ecosystem fit its use case. Her personal motivation is informed by seeing how broken banking and state-controlled money affect people outside stable financial systems.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First Round Capital

Check: Not applicable to Lizzy's recruiting role. First Round publicly says its initial investments typically range from $1 million to $7 million and average about $3.5 million, but those are firm terms administered by the investment team, not Lizzy's personal authority.

Lizzy's operating focus is helping First Round portfolio founders build their earliest technical teams. Her experience recruiting engineers across the Americas at Harness and supporting Last Energy gives her context in high-growth SaaS, infrastructure, developer tooling and technically complex climate businesses. This is a talent lens rather than an investment thesis.

BoxGroup

Check: No reliable Arielle-specific check size is public. BoxGroup describes itself as an earliest-stage investor, but founders should confirm current round fit and allocation directly rather than relying on third-party range estimates.

Arielle invests within BoxGroup's broad earliest-stage mandate. Her differentiated documented context is technical and translational: Harvard bioengineering research, founding a postpartum medical-device project, product work in fertility AI and neuromodulation, mechanical engineering at a bioelectronic-medicine startup, and consulting at BCG. This supports a credible ability to evaluate user need, clinical workflow, product design, manufacturing, regulatory planning and commercialization in technical health businesses. It does not establish an exclusive healthcare mandate or a personally published investment thesis.

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.

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.

Electric Capital

Developer ecosystems and data-driven investing. Publishes Electric Capital Developer Report.

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.

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.

Lightspeed Faction

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A using equity and tokens; its fund commitments and disclosed financing totals should not be interpreted as Samuel's standard check.

Samuel backs early crypto infrastructure and protocols that make blockchain useful at scale. His public focus includes wallets, brokerages, developer tools, remittances, stablecoin and payment rails, and other foundational systems. He combines a long-duration belief in blockchain with a pragmatic demand for real utility, technically credible teams, and precise execution through volatile market cycles.

Lightspeed Faction

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Faction invests at Seed and Series A through equity and tokens; its fund size and portfolio rounds are not Raymond's personal allocation parameters.

As Faction's Technical Partner, Raymond evaluates early blockchain companies across the stack, from base infrastructure to applications. The safest evidence-supported interpretation of his mandate is technical diligence on whether a protocol is fundamentally useful, securely designed, and executable by a team capable of balancing a frontier vision with precise delivery.

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.

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.

Bain Capital Crypto

Check: No personal or standard ticket range is published. Bain Capital Crypto launched with a $560M fund and describes concentrated investing from seed through growth and across private and public markets; this firm-level capital base does not imply Natalie's individual authority or a fixed check size.

Natalie's public footprint joins two sides of crypto investing: foundational protocol infrastructure and consumer experiences around identity, media, culture, games and creator economics. Her prior trust-and-safety work at Meta adds a lens on abuse, governance and platform risk, while her Liquid Culture interviews emphasize products that use crypto's ownership and incentive primitives to create behavior or business models that Web2 cannot simply replicate.

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.

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.

Haun Ventures

Check: No reliable Mark-specific ticket range is public. Haun invests from seed through scale and announced $1 billion of new early- and later-stage capital in May 2026; the cited first-party pages do not state a standard check.

Mark combines smart-contract and token-incentive building experience with early-stage investing. Current evidence favors useful crypto businesses rather than hype, particularly institutional market infrastructure that resolves fragmented liquidity, execution, financing or coordination into a better workflow.

Haun Ventures

Check: No reliable Mark-specific ticket range is public. Haun invests from seed through scale from two fund families and announced $1 billion of new early- and later-stage capital in May 2026; the firm does not publish a standard ticket on the cited first-party pages.

Mark combines a builder's understanding of smart contracts and token incentives with early-stage investing. Current evidence points to founders building useful crypto businesses rather than chasing market hype, especially institutional-grade market infrastructure where fragmented liquidity, execution, financing or coordination can be unified into a superior workflow.

Northzone (Web3)

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Northzone is a multi-stage firm and Alessandro's official remit is early-stage AI; founders should confirm fit and round parameters directly rather than infer a personal allocation from portfolio rounds.

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.

Craft Ventures

Check: No personal check-size authority is published. Disclosed Craft financings involving Kevin range from seed and Series A through Series C and later growth rounds; the financing totals are company-round sizes, not Kevin's individual checks.

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.
