8VC8VC operates as both a venture capital fund and internal venture studio, dedicating 25-30% of their capital to co-founding startups through their "Build" program while assembling teams of top-1% specialists like Navy SEALs, Nobel winners, and Palantir alumni rather than conventional generalist VCs. The firm focuses heavily on "national capability" companies in defense, industrials, and bio-infrastructure—building companies like autonomous naval vessels and biomanufacturing platforms—while positioning itself as part of an "American industrial renaissance" through formal partnerships with large asset managers and corporates.
9UnicornsWe invest in early stage startups across all sectors. The fund will operate uniquely as an accelerator & invest in very early-stage startups. It aims to disrupt idea stage funding in India by providing initial capital of $100K with further committed capital for deserving portfolio companies. The accelerator VC will fund 100+ early-stage startups in 3 years.
A* CapitalA* Capital is co-founded by three operators with complementary track records: Eventbrite founder Kevin Hartz (who took the company public), former Uber finance head Gautam Gupta, and ex-Coatue partner Bennett Siegel who backed companies like Peloton and DoorDash—an unusually operator-heavy founding team for an early-stage VC fund. The firm leads at seed stage then doubles down at Series A while also incubating companies from scratch, and deliberately raised Fund II exclusively from institutional LPs after launching Fund I with backing from iconic founders like Max Levchin and Peter Thiel.

Basis Set VenturesBasis Set Ventures is a $140M+ seed fund that uses psychometrics and structured data to categorize founders into specific archetypes (like "humble operator" or "agile visionary"), then statistically models which personality patterns correlate with outlier outcomes—turning typical "gut feel" investing into a repeatable, data-informed process. The women-led firm runs a quantitative sourcing engine that tracks obscure signals like GitHub activity spikes and engineer departures from big tech to find "future of work" AI companies outside the usual Sand Hill Road network, positioning itself as the place where introverted, pragmatic operators can practice their pitch and get hands-on help with everything from go-to-market strategy to model-building.
Batshit Crazy VenturesWe invest at seed and pre-seed nationally. Our focal areas are: Digital health startups in the United States; B2B startups primarily in the Northeastern United States; Hard tech startups in the United States (primarily research driven and often thematic).

Bling CapitalBling Capital is structured as a solo GP fund where Ben Ling can make investment decisions in hours without partnership committees, and has an unusually operator-heavy LP base of founders and heads of product/growth from major tech companies who provide proprietary visibility into top talent spinning out. The fund targets very early founders raising $1-3M with a "playbooks and processes" approach that runs rigorous diagnostics on company data and provides structured playbooks for finding product-market fit, rather than typical ad-hoc mentorship.
Blockchain Founders FundWe invest in pre-seed to seed stage, blockchain, crypto, and web3 startups. We seek companies early, under $25M in valuation.
Bloomberg Beta is a venture capital fund with a single corporate backer (Bloomberg LP) where all profits go to Bloomberg Philanthropies, and any partner can unilaterally approve investments without needing committee consensus. The fund operates with radical transparency by open-sourcing their internal operating manual on GitHub and uses a data-driven model to predict and email hundreds of "future founders" before they've even decided to start companies.
Blue CollectiveWe invest in pre-Series A companies (Pre-Seed and Seed). We are NOT thesis-driven in the way most VCs are. Our strategy is to invest in great founders in the earliest days of building a company and to invest broadly across industry, category, theme, trend, etc. Great founders at early stage with big ideas - that's our thesis (if we had to write it out)

FirstMark CapitalFirstMark co-founded one of NYC's first institutional early-stage firms in 2005 and has built one of venture capital's most developed platform and community stacks, including Data Driven NYC with 20,000+ members and functional Guilds representing over 80% of global tech unicorns. The firm's founders have iconic track records—Rick Heitzmann wrote Pinterest's seed check and has been on the Forbes Midas List five years running, while Amish Jani led Shopify's Series A through IPO—and they've quietly built repeat-founder franchises while publishing the 11-year-running "MAD" Landscape that has become a reference framework for the AI/data ecosystem.
Flash VenturesFloodgate pioneered the "micro-VC" model with deliberately small funds and very small initial checks, positioning themselves as one of the first firms purpose-built for pre-seed investing. The firm builds its strategy around "thunder lizards" and "pattern-breaking" startups, explicitly looking for non-consensus, inflection-driven businesses and has developed proprietary "inflection theory" and "pattern breakers" frameworks to evaluate ideas and pivots rather than just traction or markets.

The firm has built a reputation for providing CFO-grade operational support beyond typical seed funding—including hands-on help with venture debt, banking crises, and back-office infrastructure—while portfolio CEOs from companies like Airtable and Patreon consistently cite Freestyle as combining founder empathy with unusually enjoyable working relationships.

Possible Ventures
Practica CapitalPrecursor Ventures operates as an "institutional friends & family" investor, systematically backing 30-40 unproven, first-time entrepreneurs per year at the very earliest stage—often pre-launch with no product or traction—filling the gap for founders who lack traditional networks or credentials. The firm deliberately caps fund size and maintains a solo-GP structure to preserve their ability to write fast $250-500K checks based purely on founding team potential, explicitly avoiding the algorithmic screening for elite schools and employers that bigger funds use.

SciFi VCSciFi VC is the personal venture fund of PayPal cofounder Max Levchin and his wife Nellie, built on Max's hands-on operating history in fintech and payments to give founders a specific "PayPal/Affirm playbook" operator-turned-VC rather than a purely financial sponsor. The fund focuses on companies whose competitive advantages come from hard technical feats, network effects, and complex highly regulated industries, positioning itself at the intersection of frontier science and financial engineering rather than as a standard fintech fund.

Tribe CapitalTribe Capital is a venture capital fund built as a "technology company that deploys capital," where engineers and data scientists use proprietary datasets and predictive models to systematically score private companies on growth quality, retention, and network effects across all investment decisions. The firm focuses on backing "N-of-1" category-defining companies with strong network effects and uses quantitative models to concentrate capital into rare outliers rather than spreading it thinly, positioning itself as re-engineering traditional VC portfolio construction.
True VenturesTrue Ventures is known for backing the same entrepreneurs multiple times throughout their careers and treating founders more like long-term partners than typical investors, with many founders describing them as their first call for support. The firm has formalized culture and diversity as a core operating focus, created dedicated leadership roles like VP of Culture, and built an unusually community-focused platform that emphasizes psychological safety and peer connections among founders.
TrueSight VenturesWe invest in pre-seed / seed startups in Europe and US. We are a generalist fund and invest in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, AI/ML, fintech, insurtech, devtools, enterprise, digital health and exciting B2C startups.
