Investment thesis
DVC invests in early-stage AI startups led by repeat founders, combining capital with a community of 420+ LPs and founders including engineers, operators, and AI researchers to generate dealflow and Silicon Valley access. It runs two strategies: a rolling pre-seed/seed fund writing $100K-$300K checks into AI startups primarily in the US, and the DVC AI Fund I, which makes $1M-$3M follow-on investments into its top seed companies at Series A/B to pre-empt their rounds.
