Investment thesis
Daybreak invests in founders building for the future during an era of accelerating technological change, including digital innovation, mobile, cloud, and artificial intelligence. The firm believes in backing founders as early as possible—even before a formal company exists—and provides hands-on support to help companies achieve initial traction. The investment philosophy is grounded in optimism about how technology improves human life and a commitment to being a service-oriented partner rather than a distant institutional investor.

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.
