Conviction backs AI-native, 'Software 3.0' companies, believing the industry is very early in turning powerful AI models into products that transform industries. The firm invests early, frequently as the first investor, writing checks from $1M to $25M. It gravitates toward technical teams — engineers, researchers, product people, domain experts, and dropouts — that build with velocity and pragmatism. Conviction positions itself as hands-on with deep domain understanding and a broad network deployed on behalf of portfolio companies, aiming to help founders become their most ambitious selves.
