Investment thesis

FP Capital positions itself as a firm of builders who provide foundational (early) capital to entrepreneurs. Backed by Africa-focused investors, the team draws on its own experience as founders, operators, and investors. Its investment philosophy is grounded in first-principles thinking: breaking problems down into their fundamental truths and reconstructing solutions from those basic facts rather than relying on assumptions, analogies, or conventional wisdom. The firm emphasizes a long-term view, recognizing that building successful businesses takes roughly a decade of work behind any apparent 'overnight success.'

Cherubic Ventures

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.
