We are fortunate to have backed many industry-defining companies that have transformed the digital age. From our McAfee investment in 1991 that pioneered the internet business model for distributing software to our E-TEK Dynamics investment in 1997 that revolutionized the optical networking industry to light the long-haul fiber optic backbone critical for the internet to flourish, and recent investments in leading AI pioneers as OpenAI and Anthropic we have a front row seat to generational companies redefining much of the technology industry.
Starting in 2010, we were inspired by a new crop of exciting start-up companies poised to disrupt the incumbent market leaders. Recent AI progress has given us a glimpse of what’s to come in the next few years. We’re living at a pivotal moment in the history of technology. AI problems that went unsolved for decades are finally yielding to large models, and the scaling hypothesis continues to hold, while there are many fruitful directions in improving current techniques. This suggests we’re nowhere the limit of what’s possible.
We were fortunate to partner with Stripe, Trade Desk, Robinhood, and Palantir among others. More than a venture investment, these companies represent a transformational shift in how they serve their customers. We are in awe of their achievements and the vision of their founders.
We are patient capital with no pre-defined timeframe for realizing liquidity with 100% of our capital from our family office. This is our central life’s work and demands duration and persistence. Our growth stage investments tend to be $250K to $1M in sectors spanning software, health care and climate tech.
We also invest at the pre-seed and seed stage through our vehicle, Firestreak Ventures in AI/ML infra, open-source, cybersecurity and vertical AI/SaaS.
