100 VCs and 100 funds investing in Enterprise Software
Former Principal, Northzone (off current roster); Investor & Advisor
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No current personal check range or active fund mandate is public. Historical Northzone investments include seed and Series A through later follow-ons, but third-party Northzone range estimates are stale and do not establish present authority. Confirm current capacity directly.
At Northzone, Markus invested across enterprise applications, infrastructure, developer products and healthcare, with a strong DACH footprint. His operating experience at digital-health company Kry shaped an appetite for founders modernizing regulated markets despite entrenched incentives. Later deals show a widening lens: Reonic digitizes renewable-energy installers; Duvo automates exception-heavy retail operations; CuspAI applies generative models and physics to materials discovery; Black Forest Labs builds frontier visual intelligence. Across them, the common pattern is deep domain experience, a clear operational bottleneck and software or AI that changes an established value chain.
General Partner
Union Square Ventures (USV)
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Michael is early-stage focused within USV's collaborative partnership; USV makes investment decisions as a group without a formal vote.
Michael is an idea-driven early-stage investor and former product founder who looks for non-obvious shifts before they become consensus. His current AI thesis favors companies that restructure a market by transferring expert capability from gatekeepers to customers—not software that merely automates the incumbent process. USV describes him as curious, founder-respectful, willing to explore weird edges, and comfortable being wrong in pursuit of what comes next.
Partner
First Round Capital
Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range is published for Todd.
Todd backs technical founders who can turn complex technology into an elegant power tool and is unusually focused on the mechanics of reaching product-market fit. His disclosed portfolio—fal, Parallel, Town, Ploy, Artemis, Actively, and Noon—centers on generative-media infrastructure, AI-native software, agentic products, security, sales reasoning, website automation, and design-to-code workflows.

Founding Partner
Maki.vc (Web3)
Check: Maki targets first rounds below EUR 5 million and supports consequent rounds; this is a firm round criterion, not Pirkka's personal check range. Active new investments come from Fund III.
Pirkka backs ambitious Nordic teams at their first rounds, combining an operator's technology and scaling perspective with Maki's sector-agnostic, non-consensus approach. His attributed investments favor experienced teams rebuilding large industries with scalable platforms—payments, sustainable construction materials, physical-world digital twins, enterprise systems, and other deep or brand-driven technologies.
Managing Partner
Maki.vc (Web3)
Check: Maki's stated sweet spot is first rounds below EUR 5 million from day zero; this describes target round size, not Pauliina's personal check authority. The firm continues to support later rounds selectively.
Pauliina leads a sector-agnostic Nordic first-round strategy centered on exceptional technical founders with global ambition. Her attributed portfolio work spans clinical sensing, autonomous-mobility safety, consumer products, voice agents, quantum, fintech, and sustainability. She favors non-consensus decisions, products rooted in a clear user problem, strong design and customer experience, and teams capable of building category leaders from the Nordics.
Managing Director
Khosla Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Keith invests across stages, and disclosed financings across his portfolio should not be treated as a standard personal allocation range.
Keith is a stage- and sector-flexible investor who looks for exceptional founders with decisive judgment, high agency, a contrarian insight, and the ability to recruit unusually strong talent. His record favors category-defining networks and platforms—payments, marketplaces, commerce, financial software, and technology-enabled services—where operational excellence and founder-led intensity can compound into market leadership.
Managing Director
General Catalyst
Check: No personal equity check-size range is published. Customer Value financings are bespoke, performance-linked capital structures and disclosed company packages should not be generalized into a personal minimum or maximum.
Pranav invests through a capital-allocation lens: separate the predictable customer-acquisition engine of a product-market-fit company from its higher-risk product and operating company, then finance each with capital matched to its risk and return. He favors companies with clean integrated data, durable cohort economics, strong lifetime value, scalable go-to-market systems, and founders thoughtful enough to optimize long-term enterprise value rather than headline EBITDA.
President & Managing Director
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.
CEO & Partner
AirTree Ventures (Web3)
Check: Neither Airtree nor Elicia publishes her personal check range or decision authority. Airtree describes itself as seed-first and able to support companies through their journey; a historic Fund III article mentioned a $200k seed entry point, but that is firm- and vintage-specific rather than a current personal range.
Elicia backs highly ambitious, resilient founders from Australia and New Zealand, often beginning at pre-seed or seed and supporting them across later rounds. Her disclosed portfolio spans AI-enabled enterprise software, workforce intelligence, healthcare, agricultural and climate technology, and B2B SaaS. Her writing emphasizes technology's capacity for positive impact, founder ambition, durable relationships, product love, domain depth, and accepting concentrated venture risk in pursuit of outlier outcomes.
Venture Partner
Big Pi Ventures
Check: Big Pi publishes a firm-wide equity-ticket range of €0.5M–€30M across its early-stage and growth funds; its early-stage Fund II described €1M–€3M lead investments. These are firm parameters, not Vassilis's personal allocation range.
Vassilis brings a blockchain ecosystem and go-to-market lens to Big Pi's technology investing. His public work emphasizes the transition from crypto trading toward usable infrastructure: privacy-preserving institutional networks, interoperable bank deposits, Ethereum applications, zero-knowledge systems, stablecoins, and real-world financial workflows. This sits within Big Pi's broader preference for defensible technology, global markets, and teams that can translate technical invention into commercial products.
Partner
First Round Capital
Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range is published for Brett.
Brett studies how thousands of small choices compound into an exceptional company. He backs very early builders with contrarian insight and an outlier capability, then works at the decision level rather than prescribing the finished product. His disclosed investments—Clay, Stedi, and Persona—show an interest in foundational B2B workflows: flexible go-to-market tooling, healthcare eligibility and claims APIs, and identity verification.
Partner
First Round Capital
Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range is published for Bill.
Bill looks for pre-product-market-fit founders who reason from first principles: they decompose a complicated system to its atomic unit, find hidden leverage in overlooked mechanics, and build an unconventional solution from the inside out. His documented portfolio spans data and enterprise software, physical security, logistics, AI infrastructure, insurance claims, accounting automation, IT automation, healthcare access, robotics, and legal services.
Partner and Managing Director
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.
Venture Partner
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Craft invests from angel/seed through venture and growth; amounts in Bryan's investment announcements are total company rounds, not his personal or standard Craft checks.
Bryan applies a growth, revenue, and marketplace lens shaped by building Reddit's New York revenue organization and Twitter's startup advertising business. His investments favor products that remove expensive operational friction, demonstrate clear founder-market fit, delight customers enough to produce strong advocacy, and can use software, AI, services, or community-led distribution to create a meaningful performance advantage.
Principal
Kleiner Perkins
Check: No personal check range or signing authority is published. Nadia's current portfolio includes early and growth investments; individual company round sizes are not a personal range.
Nadia invests across enterprise applications and infrastructure, from AI compute and networking to vertical AI in healthcare, finance, sales, coding, and productivity. Her official portfolio spans both early and growth stages and emphasizes systems that meet domain-specific standards—clinical evidence, financial auditability, low-latency media, safe autonomy, or enterprise context—rather than generic AI capability alone.
Partner
Kleiner Perkins
Check: No verified personal check range or standard firm-wide range is published. Her official portfolio spans early and growth investments; disclosed company rounds are not personal allocation limits.
Leigh Marie backs AI infrastructure and applications, with a particular eye for the systems that close the gap between frontier-model capability and reliable, mission-critical use. Her portfolio includes tailored enterprise AI, agent workforces, learned memory, runbook automation, AI sales, developer infrastructure, databases, observability, identity, biopharma knowledge work, and financial products. Her Scale AI background gives her direct fluency in data and ML workflows for autonomy and robotics.
Founding Partner & Managing Director
Khosla Ventures
Check: In a 2020 first-person interview, Samir described a typical Khosla Seed Fund investment as roughly $1M–$2M, used as option-value capital to remove key risks before a larger Series A/B decision. Khosla's current Main Fund covers early through later stages, including total financings above $10M. These are historical/firm-level guideposts, not a guaranteed current personal range.
Samir prefers large, known markets where a radical technical risk can produce a 10x-better product. He treats small seed checks as option-value experiments: identify a potential billion-dollar outcome, use capital to remove a binary technical, team, or market-development risk, then redo the diligence and concentrate capital if the evidence improves. He rejects mechanical pro-rata, values non-consensus decisions, and believes uncapped upside justifies bold technical bets rather than conservative hit-rate optimization.
Board Partner
First Round Capital
Check: No current personal check range or new-investment authority is published. Richard's official Board Partner role focuses on coaching existing First Round companies; firm-wide check ranges should not be attributed to him personally.
Richard applies experience from building startups and running global revenue organizations to help First Round companies navigate go-to-market. His stated scope spans GTM strategy, customer segmentation, product strategy, team building, and operating at scale. His value is less a sector prediction than pattern recognition across zero-to-one, the messy middle, and hypergrowth.
Partner
BoxGroup
Check: BoxGroup currently publishes a firm-wide maximum investment of $1M. Historical sources reported smaller firm checks and third-party profiles estimate $250K–$750K for Nimi, but no primary source confirms a current personal range.
Nimi is a generalist early-stage Partner with a long-running, publicly documented focus on healthcare and life sciences, fintech, marketplaces, and software. Her current activity extends that lens into AI-native healthcare, scientific agents, enterprise AI, and the financial infrastructure surrounding AI use. She applies BoxGroup's founder-first philosophy while testing whether the operating model, retention, sequencing, and economics can support the founder's category-scale ambition.
Investment Director
AppWorks
Check: Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Sophie's personal allocation range.
Sophie backs Asian founders applying AI to transformative products and organizational models. Her current work spans personalized AI, gaming, agentic systems, and AI-enabled work; her broader investment record also favors founders digitizing large Southeast Asian industries. Her public-market background informs a disciplined lens on balanced growth: product-market fit first, steadily improving margins, an explicit path to profitability, and evidence strong enough to resist FOMO.
Investment Manager
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.
General Partner
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.
Founding Partner and Managing Director
Khosla Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Khosla Ventures invests from seed through growth, but fund assets and portfolio round sizes are not David's personal minimum or maximum.
David backs internet software and services with the potential to become large, durable businesses. His operator writing emphasizes product-management accountability, quantitative decision-making, and proving genuine product-market fit before scaling sales or spend. He is especially credible where category ambition can be paired with disciplined product, go-to-market, and unit-economics execution.
Partner, Head of Investment Team
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Craft invests from early-stage venture through growth, and Michael's disclosed financings span several stages; those total round sizes are not personal or standard check sizes.
Michael invests across venture and growth with a focus on cybersecurity, infrastructure, and AI applications. His operating framework prizes durable revenue, efficient growth, healthy unit economics, precise ideal-customer selection, strong retention, and repeatable go-to-market systems. His recent portfolio work concentrates on autonomous security, machine and agent identity, developer platforms, data infrastructure, and applied AI with clear production usage.
Partner
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No personal standard check-size range is published. Northzone has disclosed leading or co-leading large company rounds, but those totals are not Sanjot's individual allocation range and should not be presented as one.
Sanjot leads Northzone's growth strategy. He looks for companies with proven product-market fit, repeatable go-to-market, viable unit economics, distinctive product IP, mission-critical customer value, global platform potential, ecosystem influence, and defensibility that compounds. His process favors differentiated research and relationships built over time rather than auction-driven consensus investing.
Partner
Shorooq Partners
Check: No personal check range is published. Shorooq invests regionally from idea/pre-seed through late-stage growth via different vehicles. Founders should identify the stage-appropriate fund and not infer a check size from Yousef's Partner title or from announced company rounds.
Yousef backs technology businesses that can become durable leaders in Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region. His public portfolio and Intelmatix commentary point to a value-investor lens: strong founders, defensible technology, a locally important problem, evidence of commercial demand, and the capacity to unlock productivity or access in sectors such as fintech, enterprise AI, retail, logistics and real estate.
Venture Partner
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size range or deal-lead authority is published. Craft's fund sizes and announced company rounds are not a defensible proxy for J Zac's individual allocation authority.
J Zac contributes an operator and product perspective to Craft's SaaS and marketplace investing. His public profile centers on building people-management software at Lattice, board work at Vanta, and angel investments in workflow, health, compliance, data, and productivity companies. The evidence supports a focus on founder and product judgment, enterprise usability, and scaling software organizations, but Craft publishes no more specific personal thesis.
Partner Emeritus
Big Pi Ventures
Check: No current personal check range: Aristos is Partner Emeritus and an official 2025 biography says he is not involved with Big Pi's later funds. Big Pi's current platform range is €0.5M–€30M across funds, but should not be attributed to him.
Aristos' historical investment lens combines strong technology, team, and market position with realistic commercialization targets. He favors research-based ventures that can bridge academia and industry, secure early adopters beyond a small home market, and use seed or Series A capital to build enough traction for international follow-on funding. His long private-equity career also brings attention to governance, business fundamentals, and social or economic impact.
Investment VP
AppWorks
Check: Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Nathan's personal allocation range.
Nathan favors AI and software that hide technical complexity and remove customer friction. His product lens treats simplicity as a defensible outcome of customer obsession, opinionated design, disciplined feature choices, deep engineering, transparent pricing, and seamless integrations—not as superficial minimalism. His Southeast Asia investment and corporate-venture experience adds attention to local distribution, strategic partnerships, and scalable commercial execution.
Partner
AirTree Ventures (Web3)
Check: Neither Airtree nor Jackie publishes her personal check range or decision authority. The firm is seed-first and supports companies through later stages; individual portfolio round totals do not reveal Airtree's allocation or Jackie's authority.
Jackie backs Australia and New Zealand founders from very early product formation through scale. Her disclosed portfolio crosses AI and enterprise software, healthcare, fintech, consumer platforms, future-of-work tools, commerce, and purpose-led brands. Her investment notes repeatedly test market size and structural change, founder intensity and fit, customer love, defensible unit economics, resilience, and the ability to convert an initial wedge into a global company.
Principal
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.
Partner
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Molly invests through Northzone across early and growth stages; disclosed rounds such as GovDash's $10M Series A are total financings, not her personal check range.
Molly backs vertical SaaS and AI across early and growth stages, with a transatlantic view of scaling B2B software. Her Northzone portfolio applies AI to rigorous, high-value workflows in government contracting, legal work, home services, and healthcare. She values pattern recognition but explicitly prizes the conviction to make a non-consensus move when the evidence warrants it.
Principal
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.
Partner
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.
Investor
First Round Capital
Check: First Round's published firm-wide initial checks are typically $1M–$7M, averaging about $3.5M; it has participated in rounds from $100K to $20M. No personal range or signing authority is published for Maggie.
Maggie's documented lens is research depth: she respects founders who do the work required to understand a problem at first principles and prefers to dig alongside them. Her technical background in signal processing, deep learning, automated pricing, and fraud detection makes AI/ML systems and technically demanding software natural areas of fluency; First Round has not published a personal portfolio or narrower standalone thesis for her.
Partner
Big Pi Ventures
Check: Firm-wide: Big Pi publishes €0.5M–€30M equity tickets across early-stage and growth funds; its dedicated Growth I strategy leads €7M–€20M+ investments. The site does not publish Nick's personal range, so stage and fund fit must be confirmed per opportunity.
Nick sees biology and robotics as major technology waves and looks for companies using high-quality real-world data, deep technical capability, and customer evidence to automate tasks previously considered impossible. More broadly, he believes Greece's overlooked engineering and biology talent plus its diaspora can support global companies—provided founders internationalize early, raise their ambition, and pair innovation with business development and scalable operations.
Principal
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Pascual invests at early stage through Northzone; founders should confirm current round fit directly and should not infer his allocation from portfolio-company financing totals.
Pascual focuses on early-stage AI, fintech, healthcare, and vertical SaaS, with particular interest in products that use growing data availability and improved computation to transform an industry. His portfolio spans AI for legal work, medical analysis, debt collection, sales, payments, and mental healthcare, indicating an applied, industry-specific orientation.
Associate
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No personal check-size range is published. Northzone is a multi-stage firm and Alessandro's official remit is early-stage AI; founders should confirm fit and round parameters directly rather than infer a personal allocation from portfolio rounds.
Alessandro focuses on early-stage companies across the AI stack. His named Northzone portfolio spans AI-native infrastructure and applications—Duvo.ai, MicroAGI, Riff, and SolveAI—alongside consumer company Yope. His own pitch criterion is unusually direct: contagious founder energy paired with exceptional clarity of thought.
Partner
Craft Ventures
Check: No personal check-size authority is published. Disclosed Craft financings involving Kevin range from seed and Series A through Series C and later growth rounds; the financing totals are company-round sizes, not Kevin's individual checks.
Kevin backs early- and late-stage software companies where a major platform shift creates a new security or infrastructure control point. His recent work emphasizes runtime-first cloud security, autonomous offensive and defensive systems, non-human identity, agent access, endpoint visibility, and control of agentic software. He looks for category-defining technical architectures, rapid product velocity, deep customer pull, and teams capable of expanding a focused wedge into a large enterprise platform.
Partner
Big Pi Ventures
Check: Firm-wide: Big Pi publishes equity tickets of €0.5M–€30M across its early-stage and growth funds. The current site does not publish Marco's personal range, so the platform range should not be treated as a standard partner check.
Marco backs exceptional teams with Greek or Southeast European leverage that can become global technology leaders. His operator history and portfolio favor products with technology at the core, defensible advantages, international markets, and teams capable of learning continuously as the company scales. He treats the regional talent base and diaspora as a network for building globally, not a boundary on ambition.
Partner
Kleiner Perkins
Check: Not publicly disclosed. Kleiner Perkins invests from early stage through selective growth rounds; isolated portfolio check disclosures should not be treated as Josh's standard range.
Josh backs founders applying AI to consequential workflows in both software and the physical economy. His portfolio shows a consistent preference for products that turn abundant but fragmented information into trustworthy decisions or actions, automate labor-constrained expert work, or combine software with hardware to reverse structural productivity declines. He remains open beyond named sectors when a founder is determined to reinvent an industry.
