Similar firms

Refactor Capital$1M–$2M

Refactor Capital is a solo GP venture fund where founders get direct access to Zal Bilimoria as the only decision-maker, applying software operator experience from Google, Netflix, and LinkedIn to hard tech sectors like aerospace, synthetic biology, and energy storage. The fund leads seed rounds with $1-2M checks targeting ~10% ownership across unusually broad hard-tech domains, backed by early hits like Solugen and Astranis.

Alumni Ventures$250K–$5M

Alumni Ventures built a "network-powered" retail VC platform that aggregates thousands of accredited individuals into professionally managed funds, allowing people to write checks as low as ~$10k while accessing large, diversified venture portfolios—making it America's largest VC firm for individual investors. The firm runs a deliberately non-controlling, co-investor-only strategy where it does not lead rounds, set terms, or take board seats, instead slotting into rounds alongside elite firms like Sequoia and Bessemer while treating its 750k+ subscriber base and ~1,400+ venture-backed founders as a scaled operating asset through structured CEO Services.

Divergent Capital$250K–$1M

Pre-seed lead investor for deeply technical AI, biotech, climatetech and infrastructure startups, offering female operator-led go-to-market expertise and structured fellowships to source technical-founder deal flow. Divergent Capital is run by two female operator-investors who combine deep-tech investing experience with hands-on go-to-market expertise, and they cultivate deal flow through structured fellowships targeting students and emerging investors in their technical-founder network.
