Investment thesis
Loyal is an evergreen, unitized venture fund investing early in top founders drawn exclusively from three global networks: INSEAD, the Founder Institute pre-seed accelerator, and its own community of 200+ investor LPs. It starts with very small initial checks, then diligences companies from the inside over months before making follow-on rounds highly competitive. Backed by 1,000+ advisors who provide technical, functional and industry expertise plus introductions, the fund aims to earn founder loyalty and preferred access to follow-on deals. The portfolio spans 400+ cross-sector investments across 70+ countries, offering institutional-quality diversification, with exits and dividends distributed to all unit holders for income or reinvestment.

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.
