Investment thesis
Openseed VC backs exceptional operators building technology companies at the earliest 'day zero' stage, often writing the first check before institutional investors arrive. The firm believes early-stage failure stems less from the idea and more from team vision and execution under uncertainty, so it aims to be a conviction-led partner from the outset. Founders are supported by the Openseed Operator Network of 50+ seasoned operators spanning software engineering, product, people, and go-to-market to help companies get from zero to one. The firm invests across Europe, the US, and Africa.

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.
