Investment thesis
Not Yet Ventures focuses on the earliest stage of venture, offering a 'third state' beyond a simple yes or no. Rather than declining founders outright, the firm names what would need to be true and stays in the relationship until the moment becomes fundable. It builds conviction from observing founder behavior over time, working with founders before wiring capital and treating that engagement as diligence. Founders enter a short decision cycle with a hard bar; a 'not yet' keeps the relationship open. Beyond the check, the firm provides ideas, introductions to next-stage capital and angels, pressure-testing, and candid, direct feedback without taking board seats or formal oversight.

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.
