a16z crypto

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Public seed, Series A, and later financing amounts are company-level transaction sizes and are not a defensible proxy for Guy's individual range or allocation authority.

Guy invests across the crypto stack with a technical focus on infrastructure, DeFi, and decentralized physical infrastructure. He looks for blockchains to coordinate markets that centralized intermediaries serve poorly—compute, energy, telecom, transportation, credit, and global finance—and for open protocols whose incentives unlock latent capacity, lower coordination costs, and compound through interoperability and composability.

Polymorphic Capital

Check: No Nataly-specific check size is public. Polymorphic's verified OpenVC-style profile lists firm-level initial bands spanning $250K–$3M, says it can lead, and covers pre-seed through Series B. Treat these as firm guidance rather than Nataly's authority; confirm the relevant partner, current allocation, stage and ownership target after intake.

Nataly's Polymorphic work sits at the application and portfolio-development edge: finding and supporting products that use web3 infrastructure to transform markets beyond crypto-native users, particularly social, payments, finance, data and AI. Her independent research lens maps entire technology stacks and searches for the bottleneck or value-capture layer—such as training data, packaging capacity, safety certification, integration, agent payment rails or the software/hardware split—while distinguishing headline market sizes from more reliable directional signals.

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.

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.

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.

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.

GTK Partners

Check: GTK is primarily a corporate advisory firm and does not publish an Ali-specific venture check range. Ali has disclosed individual technology investments, but those do not establish a repeatable allocation mandate. Companies should clarify whether they seek advisory work, financing support or an investment.

Ali works where technical systems, strategic finance and corporate transactions meet. GTK's work spans private growth companies, corporations and financial sponsors, with particular expertise in software-hardware convergence such as IoT, autonomy and robotics. His Tech. Cars. Machines. interviews examine commercialization, market readiness, technical defensibility and the corporate partnerships or financing required to scale complex technology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check range is published. Khosla's firm-level Seed and Main Funds span technical experiments through later financings; historical seed commentary cited roughly $1M–$2M. Nicole's additional Capital Formation role should not be read as a disclosed personal check authority.

Nicole backs frontier AI across infrastructure, enterprise, consumer, defense, and biology. Her scientific training in cancer and viral immunology gives her a mechanistic lens for AI–biology convergence, while her founder experience provides a capital-efficient consumer and commercialization perspective. Her named investments—Medal/General Intuition, Highlight, Cellular Intelligence, and Vero—signal interest in world models and embodied intelligence, consumer/enterprise software, biological intelligence, and defense applications.

Lux Capital

Check: Not applicable to Nat's events role. Lux invests across stages, but no personal allocation authority or check size belongs to this profile. Founder financing pitches should go to Lux's investment team.

Nat designs the convening layer around Lux's frontier-science and technology network. Her work brings together founders, researchers, executives, investors, journalists and creative leaders in focused formats such as AI, AI-biology and health-intelligence summits. The operating thesis is that carefully curated, content-rich gatherings create trust, knowledge exchange and useful founder connections. It is a platform thesis, not a personal investment thesis.

Symbolic Capital

Check: No current investor check size applies: Chad says he left early-stage investing to build at PrismaX. Historical third-party estimates for Symbolic must not be treated as current personal authority. Financing pitches should go to Symbolic's live team; robotics commercial proposals should be framed for PrismaX.

Chad's historical investment work mapped decentralized AI across data, models, agents, compute, training and inference. His current operator thesis narrows to physical AI's deployment bottleneck: foundation models have advanced faster than the high-fidelity, embodiment-specific demonstration data needed to make robots reliable. He argues that open pretraining data is valuable, but task-, scene-, gripper- and camera-specific post-training data determines real deployment performance.

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.

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.

Big Pi Ventures

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.

Y Combinator

Check: YC's live standard deal is $500K per accepted company: $125K on a post-money SAFE for 7% plus $375K on an uncapped MFN SAFE, with a participation right. This is YC's standardized program deal, not Diana's personal check range.

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.

Big Pi Ventures

Check: Growth-fund level: Big Pi Growth I states that it leads with €7M–€20M+ per company. Panos focuses on Series B+ growth investments; the published fund range is not a guarantee of his personal allocation authority for any deal.

Panos leads growth investments in European technology companies that already show category leadership and can use €7M–€20M+ plus active operating support to scale internationally. His recent work emphasizes InfraTech and Physical AI at the intersection of innovative technology and real infrastructure, where proprietary systems, strong customer ROI, global deployments, and Southeast European operating hubs can create durable scale advantages.

Kleiner Perkins

Check: Not publicly disclosed. Kleiner Perkins invests from early stage through selective growth rounds; isolated portfolio check disclosures should not be treated as Josh's standard range.

Josh backs founders applying AI to consequential workflows in both software and the physical economy. His portfolio shows a consistent preference for products that turn abundant but fragmented information into trustworthy decisions or actions, automate labor-constrained expert work, or combine software with hardware to reverse structural productivity declines. He remains open beyond named sectors when a founder is determined to reinvent an industry.
