Thesis

The best founders are artists — obsessive, compelled by novel ideas, and often initially misunderstood. Asylum backs these creative builders with capital and hands-on support when asked, without taking board seats or administrative control. Fund I is $55M deploying $1–2M checks at pre-seed and seed.

Likely not a fit for

No large fund dynamics, no board seats, no administrative control. Explicitly avoids the 'industrialization' of VC — no hundreds of investments per year, no assembly-line approach to dealmaking.
