Today we launch 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈— $88m, Europe’s largest dedicated pre-seed fund. Built for founders with just a concept and the conviction to chase it. In the last three years with Fund I, the Concept team has partnered with 44 companies at day zero — saying yes when others... say no. We’ve led 90% of our rounds, backed founders in every sector from commodities to robotics, and stood behind their ambition to build multi-billion-dollar outcomes from the very first cheque. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: •⁠ ⁠$88m — significantly oversubscribed, with first close in just 3 weeks •⁠ ⁠Backed by world-class global LPs: Top Tier Capital Partners Partners, @MarktlikCapital, Aldea Ventures, Dominus, Granite and Integra Partners. •⁠ 70%+ of our Fund I portfolio founders joined as LPs, alongside some of Europe’s best founders — including unicorn founders (), Amar Shah (Wayve), and Mik Attisani (Faceit) •⁠ ⁠Fund I is a top 1% fund globally for its vintage on all metrics, with $450m+ raised by our founders so far 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦: Anrea Munsamy, Ariel Rahamim, Jeff Chowdhry, Lauren Sauerland, Oliver Oliver Kicks and Seyon Indran — building Concept with you as outsiders to VC has been my greatest joy. From late nights to tough decisions, from wins to crises — sharing those highs and lows with you has shaped a people-first fund that truly reflects who we are. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐏𝐬: those who believed on day one, with a 90% re-up rate — thank you for believing in our concept and backing us again. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: thank you for trusting us at day zero. This fund is for your ambition. A huge thank you to Alex Macdonald and the sequel team , as a value add LP, for helping us bring this incredible video to life (watch to the end!) At Concept Ventures , we don’t see sectors, we see people. Whether you’re in UK, Italy, Poland, Spain or beyond — first-time or repeat founder — if you have the ambition to build globally from Europe, our door is open. Just bring your Concept!show more

Today, we’re excited to announce that Lerer Hippeau has closed $200M in new capital for our ninth seed fund. We’ll invest LH Fund IX in pre-seed and seed-stage companies. This fund represents an increase from LH Fund VIII’s $140M, and a continued commitment to supporting the next generation of founders while maintaining focus in approach. This fund also includes several dozen LH portfolio founders as limited partners – a fact we’re really proud of as we think it best exemplifies what this community means to the people who comprise it. With this raise, LH is also celebrating 15 years of supporting early stage founders by serving as their first and most aligned institutional partner. We feel lucky to be doing this work and are honored that founders continue to choose us as their partners.

Anduril Co-Founder & Founders Fund Partner Trae Stephens on the Biggest Lesson He’s Learned From Peter Thiel: “He’s always right and it’s really really really annoying.” “I can’t tell you how many times he’s said something and the whole team rolls their eyes… and then 5 years later Donald Trump is president.” Lessons for investing: “Concentration in venture is a really important one. You don’t want to have a thousand investments in a billion dollar fund. You wanna have a massive amount of concentration in the top few positions in that fund.” Lessons for Anduril: “It’s the “Zero to One” [concept] about avoiding competition. For Anduril in 2017… we went and targeted an area where there were no venture-backed players at all. And that gave us an incredible head start.”

It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy… I got something to announce: We're launching PROTOTYPE: a new fund, fully focused on Europe. A small fund that punches way above it's size. With it we back what Europe is world-class at: robotics, automation, manufacturing, and anything that requires hard engineering. First check. First round. As early as it gets. Europe invented industry. We're the birthplace of precision manufacturing. The second largest manufacturing hub on the planet. Leaders in automation and robotics. And yet… We sell out our best tech to China. We export our best founders & most of our investment money to the US. That's insanity. What should we do instead? Build the next trillion euro companies in robotics, manufacturing, automation right here: in Europe. Showcase to young founders what is possible and change the system around them where needed. What we will do: → Publish all our fund updates and build in public: → Showcase Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups on Youtube: → Launch & support more projects like EU–INC. Enough talking about Europe. Time to build it: Startups, makerspaces, student clubs, and much more. → And most importantly, invest into the best founders in Europe. Same model as our previous funds that are in their top 1-5% cohorts worldwide. We won’t do a VC fund in the classic sense. This will be a community of hyper-ambitious people who want to actively change Europe for the better. It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy. Check out

Today, we're announcing Entrepreneurs First's Series D: $200M of fresh capital, at a unicorn+ valuation. We're in a golden age of entrepreneurship. More individuals than ever before are taking the leap, with the world's most transformative technology at their fingertips. For over a decade, we've backed extraordinary people without asking what idea they're working on. We call this Talent Investing; believing in someone from Day 1 and giving them the peer group, environment, and capital to find their life's work. And it works! Companies built through EF are now worth $16bn, up from $3bn at our last raise in 2021. Thank you to our investors for their continued belief, the EF team for bringing this vision to life, and the founders who rejected the status quo to build globally important companies with us. And, of course, a huge thank you to Matt Clifford, my exceptional cofounder.

30 of the 70 companies in our last speedrun batch had founders born outside the US and if we keep doing our job – and we will – that number is only going up: * founders building products + teams internationally * builders stuck in an H-1B job ready to accelerate their slope * students here on F-1 who are ready to take a shot at their startup idea Speedrun Global Founders is our answer >> our end-to-end approach to guiding founders through visas, customs, housing, banking, and building local SF community, while enabling founders from all over the globe to participate in Speedrun we also have the coolest hat in venture - maybe thats a lame flex, but i honestly challenge you to show me better vc drip you might catch a few of our founders wearing them today. come through Global Founders and I’ll bring you one 🫡 -apply below my friends-

Thank you, Italy, for hosting this visit and for your unwavering support for Ukraine and Ukrainians. I especially want to thank you for the respect shown to our state, to our independence and territorial integrity, and to our people. Respect is just as important as security. When people and states are respected, and when security is guaranteed, there can be truly dignified relations and normal life. This is exactly how we work together with Italy and with all our partners to guarantee security in every sense of the word and to ensure that relations between us are always friendly and meaningful. I am grateful for all the assistance from Italy to Ukraine and Ukrainians – political, security, economic, and humanitarian. Giorgia, thank you personally, for your leadership, which helps us and Europe as a whole navigate this time of crisis, and for your efforts to protect Europe and European interests. From a joint press conference with Giorgia Meloni (1/3).

There is no venture capital firm like Founders Fund, and there is no writer who tells venture capital firms' stories like Mario Gabriele. In their respective crafts, both have No Rivals. That is the title of Mario's epic four-part series on Peter Thiel and Founders Fund, and the topic of our conversation on Hyperlegible. Sometimes, someone writes something so good that it fills me with a healthy, respectful, chapeau-inducing jealousy. Rene Girard would probably have something to say about that. No Rivals is one of those pieces. On this week's Hyperlegible, we talked about how he got such in-depth access, how he wrangled everything he learned into the beautifully coherent story he told, and of course, we talked all about how Founders Fund has built one of the best, and certainly the most unique, venture capital firm in the world. And we end the conversation, as he ended the series, by discussing whether and how Founders Fund will be able to stay original and dominant when everyone is trying to copy them.

GINNY JAYNA AT 22ND KCL2026 #GinJayx22ndKCLAwards2026 🐒: Thank you. Today Ginny’s dress is a little bit long 555. First of all, I have to thank Kom Chad Luek for giving us the opportunity to have our names included. And I must thank all the fan clubs. Thank you to every single Alkey, whether you've been with us since day one or just joined us today. Along the way, during this year and a half since we became acting partners, our lives have been like a train that picks people up. The passengers might be all of you Alkeys. Along the way, some people have gotten on, and some people have gotten off. Thank you to those who are still on this train. Some have already left, but thank you to absolutely everyone who ever came to visit this train. And thank you for everything that brought us to stand right here. Thank you for every opportunity that came our way. Thank you to P'Tuk and P'Tik for choosing Jay to be an actress, and thank you for allowing me to be paired with P'Ginny. Thank you. 🦙: Yes, thank you to everyone who voted for us. Today, I chose a dress without thinking that I would have to walk up and down the stairs this much. 5555. Thank you so much. Thank you to everyone who has been with us throughout this past year and a half. This is the first step in the entertainment industry for me and Nong Jayna. I never thought we would come this far. Thank you for seeing something in the two of us. Thank you for loving our chemistry I also feel like Nong Jay is a very special person to me. Because if there were no Jayna, I probably wouldn't be standing here either. Thank you, Jay, for always exchanging acting cues with me and for going through so much together. Finally, we get to stand on this stage together. Tonight, I am so happy. Thank you so much to every single Alkey for finding us. And I'm so glad that I found all of you too. Thank you❤️

I’m thrilled to share that Forward Deployed Venture Capital has raised a $45M Fund 2 for mission-critical startups! We’re backed by the Palantir Mafia: a motley crew of 150+ operators, hackers, designers, spies, machine learning scientists, classification experts, government contracting officers, nuclear engineers, and founders. Also participating: AngelList Systematic Fund, Bain Capital Ventures, Dauntless Ventures, Garry Tan, GREE LP Fund, Invariantes Fund, Multiple Capital, Norton Holdings, and two undisclosed large institutions 🏦🏦. We invest in startups modernizing critical American industries including defense, energy, and manufacturing — the core infrastructure that underpins our national prosperity. It’s true that “software is eating the world”, but these trillion dollar markets have had relatively little innovation. It’s time. 🇺🇸 We invest in talent mafias such as Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX where we have strong relationships and high conviction in the people and culture. We've seen what extreme talent, velocity, and determination can achieve. Born from Palantir’s Forward Deployed Engineering culture, we back hardcore founders that move fast and run through walls to achieve their missions. We run with them and accelerate their momentum. Huge thanks to the founders and LPs who’ve given us their time, trust, and partnership. We’re fired up to build the future with you. 🔊 Turn your headphones up, this hits hard! Let’s go! 🚀

Born from Palantir’s Forward Deployed Engineering culture, we back hardcore founders that move fast and run through walls to achieve their missions. We run with them and accelerate their momentum. Huge thanks to the founders and LPs who’ve given us their time, trust, and partnership. We’re fired up to build the future with you. 🔊 Turn your headphones up, this hits hard! Let’s go! 🚀

We’re thrilled to share that Outset has raised $17M in Series A funding, led by 8VC to help companies better understand their customers. When michael hess and I founded Outset, we set out to solve a critical problem: truly understanding your customer is painfully slow, expensive, and at times, impossible. It shouldn’t be. We believed AI could change this by focusing on the human side of AI. So we built the world’s first AI-interviewer. An AI agent that asked questions, listened, and learned from real humans. By removing the barriers of traditional research and allowing companies to have deeper conversations with more customers more quickly, we could help teams infuse their products with genuine human understanding at a speed and scale previously impossible. So what was the moment we knew we were onto something? When WeightWatchers ran that first pilot back in early 2023. Participants shared incredible amounts of depth, all with the world’s first AI-interviewer. We got a call the next day from their head of research: "You built a thing. We want that thing. How do I pay you for it?" That validation has turned into explosive growth. We've doubled our revenue in just the last 4 months alone, with >50 enterprise customers like Nestlé, Microsoft, and WeightWatchers trusting us to unlock deeper customer insights. All of this built on the backs of a truly special early team with 0 employee turnover. This funding round was led by 8VC, with participation from an incredible group, including: Future Back Ventures by Bain & Company, Y Combinator / Garry Tan, Adverb Ventures /April Underwood / Jessica Verrilli ), Alt Capital / Jack Altman , Rebel Fund, Genius Ventures, Ritual Capital, and many more. So what's next? We're scaling our engineering and go-to-market teams to build the world's most powerful agentic customer research platform. All focused on one mission: helping companies better understand humans. To our customers, investors, and team - thank you for believing in this vision. Now check out the video to see Outset in action, testing the video itself with real people!
