Investment thesis

Hyperplane backs founders building AI-driven companies that reshape the industries the world runs on. Founded in 2015 on the conviction that AI was ready to leave the lab, the firm writes high-conviction first checks into companies before their markets reach consensus, and supports founders over the long term through wins, setbacks, and multiple ventures. It believes the next generation of iconic businesses will emerge at the intersection of AI and real-world workflows, infrastructure, and the physical world.
