Investment thesis
Connetic Ventures positions itself as the original AI venture fund, combining data-driven intelligence with founder empathy. Its autonomous AI analyst, Wendal, reviews every application with consistent rigor and no human gatekeepers, aiming to remove bias from the funding process. The firm is sector agnostic, investing wherever software or technology creates meaningful differentiation across fields such as healthcare, fintech, infrastructure, and consumer. It writes $250K–$500K checks at pre-seed and seed stages into software-driven businesses valued at $15M or below, offering fast decisions and feedback rather than requiring warm intros or pitch decks.

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
