Craft Ventures

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.

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check range is published. Jai focuses on growth-stage opportunities, while Khosla's Main Fund covers early through later-stage ventures and all total financings above $10M. Round size is not the same as Jai's personal allocation authority.

Jai looks for category-defining growth companies with the potential for outsized scale and economics, while remaining open to bold bets even after the early stage. His public-markets background adds an underwriting lens oriented toward durable revenue quality, market structure, capital efficiency, and the path to IPO and beyond. His disclosed work includes Slash, Omnea, Zetwerk, ClickHouse, Abridge, Vercel, Glean, Kiddom, and Even.

Saudi Venture Capital (SVC)

Check: SVC program terms—not Nora's personal check authority—state a SAR 1,000,000 ($267K) minimum for direct investments and cap SVC at 30% of a direct round. For fund investments, SVC may contribute up to 65% of fund size, subject to the same aggregate cap for Saudi government-affiliated entities.

Nora leads a public-market-development investor designed to close private-capital gaps in Saudi Arabia. SVC invests through venture, private-equity, venture-debt, private-debt, accelerator, and startup-studio funds, plus direct investments in Saudi-based companies and companies expanding to the Kingdom. The governing lens is ecosystem additionality: catalyze private commitments, support high-growth startups and SMEs, build institutional managers, and prioritize strategic sectors from pre-seed to pre-IPO.
