CRV

CRV is one of the earliest Silicon Valley firms to explicitly prioritize "empowering individuals over institutions," investing in products that shift power to end users rather than incumbent organizations. The firm has voluntarily returned capital from oversized funds—$750M from a $1.2B fund in 2002 and $275M from a $500M fund in 2024—positioning itself as unusually disciplined about fund size compared to peers that keep committed capital deployed regardless of market conditions.
