9 VCs and 2 funds investing in Networks
Managing Partner
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.
Managing Partner
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.
