August Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in a small number of companies, providing hands-on support to entrepreneurs building their businesses.
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.
Lightspeed Venture Partners is a global venture capital firm that backs founders from Seed through Series F and beyond, emphasizing deep, immersive partnerships with the companies it invests in.
SV Angel is a San Francisco-based firm that invests long-term in founders, supporting them with advice, introductions, and network access at key business inflection points.
5Y Capital positions itself as entrepreneurs who happen to run a venture firm, focusing on finding founders with "crazy" visions that contradict market consensus when others dismiss them as unrealistic. The firm has built a track record of early bets on Chinese tech leaders like Kuaishou, Xiaomi, and SenseTime, while deliberately expanding into new domains like AI infrastructure and biotech despite having no prior experience in those sectors.
