Investment thesis
Fundamental positions itself as an early-stage, first-principles-driven investor that aims to be a 'believer' in visionary founders rather than a conventional investor. It emphasizes backing companies from day zero, avoiding 'too early' rejections, and moving quickly — offering a term sheet within 7 days and capital within a month. The firm supports portfolio founders beyond the initial check by enabling follow-on funding rounds through an extensive global network, framing fundraising as a shared responsibility. Its focus is on discovering unconventional innovators driven by a strong sense of purpose.

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.
