Geek Ventures in the news

Similar firms

Benchmark$1M–$15M

Benchmark operates with one of the smallest, flattest partnership structures in top-tier VC, where only a handful of partners share economics equally with no hierarchy or junior staff, allowing them to make concentrated, high-conviction early bets on companies like eBay, Uber, and Twitter. The firm maintains an unusually low-profile, anti-marketing approach that emphasizes hands-on partner engagement over firm promotion, deliberately keeping fund sizes modest to stay close to founders.

Origin Ventures$1M–$8M

VC focused on AI infrastructure, AI-native software, and AI frontier tech (not generalist), with partners across all four U.S. time zones and a podcast dissecting company-building for founders.

Base Ventures$250K–$3M

A founder-focused investor targeting culturally resonant tech and aspirational consumer companies, bridging elite venture ecosystems and historically excluded communities through mentorship and access for non-traditional talent.

Freestyle Capital$1.5M–$3M
Hyperplane Venture Capital$250K–$3M

Hyperplane Venture Capital was founded by former machine learning entrepreneurs who built and sold an AI startup, giving them first-hand experience commercializing hard AI products rather than coming from a purely financial background. The Boston-based fund leads early rounds for technically intense AI teams attacking physical-world problems like wastewater epidemiology, precision agriculture, and industrial robotics, often backing companies that aren't obvious 'hot deals' yet but become category-creators in AI infrastructure for complex, regulated systems.
