Ted Schlein

Partner and Advisor

90%

Kleiner Perkins

Check: Neither Kleiner Perkins nor Ted publishes a personal check range on the cited pages. His Kleiner record spans early-stage and growth companies, but portfolio round sizes and Ballistic's fund sizes do not establish his individual Kleiner check authority.

Ted is an operator-investor focused on cybersecurity and technology infrastructure across company formation, early-stage investment, scaling, and public-sector adoption. His Kleiner portfolio spans application and cloud security, identity, threat detection, incident response, security operations, enterprise data, supply-chain intelligence, and defense software. His approach combines product depth, customer and government networks, executive recruiting, and long-term board work to help technically strong teams become category leaders.

Peter Hébert

Partner and Co-Founder

90%

Lux Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Lux invests early and can support companies across their development, but its USD 7B under management and individual financing totals are not Peter's personal allocation limits.

Peter seeks scientifically and technologically ambitious ventures attempting what most people think will not work but could become indispensable if they succeed. He is a generalist across technology and healthcare, with a particular record in multidisciplinary platforms—robotics, software, data, imaging, AI, and biology—that expand human capability, create new categories, and convert substantial technical risk into outsized societal and economic value.

Company FormationPre-SeedSeed

Neeraj Arora

CEO India, MENA & Managing Director

90%

General Catalyst

Check: No personal check-size range is published. His record includes seed investments and large later financings, but disclosed round totals belong to company financings and are not a personal range.

Neeraj backs ambitious founders building category-defining businesses in India, MENA, and the corridors linking those regions with global markets. His approach combines Venture Highway's earliest-stage founder access with General Catalyst's resilience themes: financial inclusion, health assurance, domestic defense and industrial capability, energy infrastructure, locally relevant consumer products, and regulated platforms that modernize large GDP-driving sectors.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Jeannette zu Fürstenberg

President & Managing Director

90%

General Catalyst

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Her public record spans seed investments through large follow-on rounds, but total financing sizes and General Catalyst's assets are not personal check parameters.

Jeannette is a founder-led generalist investing to strengthen European prosperity and resilience through technology. She backs ambitious companies from ideation onward across AI, defense, energy, industrial transformation, enterprise, and consumer markets, connecting startups with established industry. Her Global Resilience lens focuses on owning critical systems of power, scaling European technical talent, and commercializing technologies until they can thrive without permanent subsidy.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Sven Strohband

Partner and Managing Director

88%

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Khosla invests from seed through growth; company round totals and the firm's assets are not Sven's personal check parameters.

Sven backs technically ambitious companies that can create new industries or unlock novel user experiences. His engineering lens favors frontier AI, robotics, autonomy, aerospace, developer infrastructure, climate, and other atoms-plus-software businesses where improved simulation, computation, manufacturing, or foundational models make a previously government-scale or uneconomic problem tractable for a startup.

SeedEarly StageSeries A

Alana Palmedo

Managing Partner

87%

Paradigm

Check: Paradigm invests at every stage, from first check through public markets. Its fourth fund is $1.2 billion, but neither the firm nor Alana publishes a personal check range; the fund size is therefore not treated as her check authority.

Alana co-leads a research- and builder-led strategy that backs ambitious technical founders from first check through public markets. Paradigm began in crypto and now targets the fastest-moving technology frontiers, including AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems, space and defense, while continuing to invest in crypto-native markets and financial infrastructure.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Wilson Tukiainen

Investment Manager

87%

Maki.vc (Web3)

Check: Maki's sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million; this describes the firm's target round, not Wilson's personal authority. He sources and evaluates opportunities within that day-zero mandate.

Wilson sources and evaluates Nordic first-round opportunities across Maki's sector-agnostic mandate, with a research-driven lens and responsibility for ESG development. His first publicly attributed 2026 investment highlights critical deep-tech infrastructure: technically defensible systems addressing a rapidly worsening physical-world problem, with government and commercial customers and a concrete path from development into operational proof.

Pre-SeedSeedFirst Round

Paavo Räisänen

General Partner

87%

Maki.vc (Web3)

Check: Maki's published sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million from day zero; this is a firm round-size criterion, not Paavo's personal check range. Fund III is the active new-investment vehicle, with selective follow-ons from older funds.

Paavo backs Nordic deep-tech founders at their first institutional round when a radical scientific or engineering advance can overhaul an industry. He requires a credible technical foundation, balanced technical and commercial talent, control of a valuable position in the value chain, deep customer understanding, and a distinctive brand capable of making complex technology category-defining.

Pre-SeedSeedFirst Round

Tess van Stekelenburg

Partner

86%

Lux Capital

Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Tess invests at both early and growth stages and participates in Lux company creation; founders should confirm round fit directly rather than infer an allocation from fund size or disclosed company rounds.

Tess is a technically trained generalist investing where AI, biology, aerospace, and the physical world intersect. She seeks engineers and scientists turning frontier research into companies, with particular interest in computational methods that make biology more engineerable, the data and model bottlenecks behind scientific discovery, and high-consequence systems such as biodefense.

Company CreationSeedSeries A

Shahin Farshchi, PhD

Partner

86%

Lux Capital

Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Shahin invests from early conviction through enduring scale and has co-founded companies; financing requirements are opportunity-specific and should be confirmed directly.

Shahin creates and backs generational frontier companies that endow people and machines with new capabilities. An engineer and founder, he looks across AI, chips, compute, autonomy, aerospace, robotics, biotech, defense, energy, and infrastructure for radical underlying technologies—not diminishing improvements—that can unlock previously impossible products. He invests early, may help form companies, and supports founders through technical proof, customer trust, manufacturing, and scale.

Company CreationSeedSeries A

Grace Isford

Partner

85%

Lux Capital

Check: No personal check-size range is published. Lux's USD 7B under management and disclosed company rounds are not Grace's personal range; she is explicitly described as a first-check and early investor.

Grace backs computational-science companies where software or AI transforms difficult physical, institutional, or technical systems. She looks for first-check opportunities in infrastructure and applications, including model platforms, developer tools, generative media, robotics, and AI-native enterprise workflows. Her product lens starts with a painful real-world experience and asks whether new fundamental technology enables an excellent end-to-end product, rather than an AI feature bolted onto an old workflow.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Brandon Reeves

Partner

85%

Lux Capital

Check: No verified personal or standard Lux check-size range is published. Brandon invests at both early and growth stages; disclosed financing rounds, such as Hugging Face's $15M Series A, are total rounds and not his personal allocation range.

Brandon backs technical platforms and applications across software, AI, defense, and manufacturing. A recurring theme is open or developer-led infrastructure that turns frontier capability into production systems, paired with companies modernizing regulated or antiquated industries. His current portfolio spans open models and AI cloud, nature-inspired foundation models, coding agents, finance automation, defense autonomy, physical AI, autonomous factories, life-sciences R&D, security, data, and crypto infrastructure.

SeedSeries AEarly Stage

Nicole Fraenkel

Partner & Head of Capital Formation

85%

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check range is published. Khosla's firm-level Seed and Main Funds span technical experiments through later financings; historical seed commentary cited roughly $1M–$2M. Nicole's additional Capital Formation role should not be read as a disclosed personal check authority.

Nicole backs frontier AI across infrastructure, enterprise, consumer, defense, and biology. Her scientific training in cancer and viral immunology gives her a mechanistic lens for AI–biology convergence, while her founder experience provides a capital-efficient consumer and commercialization perspective. Her named investments—Medal/General Intuition, Highlight, Cellular Intelligence, and Vero—signal interest in world models and embodied intelligence, consumer/enterprise software, biological intelligence, and defense applications.

Pre-SeedSeedSeries A

Kindle Van Linge

Principal

83%

Craft Ventures

Check: No Kindle-specific check range is public. Craft's live portfolio attributes her to growth, Series A and Series B investments, but those stage labels do not reveal individual allocation authority or check size. Confirm current vehicle, ownership and lead/co-invest posture directly.

Kindle invests where AI or advanced technology becomes a mission-critical operating layer in large, regulated or technically demanding markets. Her attributed work spans AI medical knowledge, regulatory compliance, autonomous defense systems, biotechnology and neurotechnology, with a recurring emphasis on trusted domain data, expert workflows, demonstrable adoption and products capable of becoming the intelligence layer for an industry.

Series ASeries BGrowth

Lucas Oliveira

Principal

83%

Kleiner Perkins

Check: No personal check range or signing authority is published. Lucas participates across early and growth investments; disclosed company financings should not be treated as his personal range.

Lucas invests in enterprise software and cybersecurity across early and growth stages. His portfolio connects foundation models, data and enterprise AI, open-source software security, managed security, offensive-security automation, operational resilience, physical safety, autonomy, defense, and space. His software private-equity background adds a durable-business lens to technically ambitious companies.

SeedSeries AEarly Stage

Ilya Fushman

Partner

83%

Kleiner Perkins

Check: No personal or standard firm-wide check range is published. Ilya's official portfolio spans early and growth investments; Kleiner disclosed that its 2019 Series A investment in Rippling was $25M, but that one transaction is not a general range or personal limit.

Ilya invests in technology and novel business models capable of fundamentally reshaping industries. His portfolio connects AI-native professional work, enterprise operating systems, mathematical and software agents, physical AI, autonomous defense, logistics, healthspan, biotech, and financial infrastructure. A recurring pattern is a product-centric company that can redefine a large workflow and pair a technical discontinuity with a new go-to-market or business model.
