About

Ashton Kutcher turned early angel bets on Uber, Airbnb and Spotify into a full venture career, co-founding Sound Ventures with Guy Oseary in 2015 and later raising a dedicated AI fund that backed OpenAI and Anthropic. In July 2026 he announced he was leaving Sound, where he remains an adviser, to start a new firm with former NFX partner Morgan Beller focused on early-stage AI infrastructure, energy and deep tech.
