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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First Round Capital

Check: Firm-level: First Round says initial investments typically range from $1M-$7M, average about $3.5M, and have ranged below and above that; participating rounds have ranged from $100K-$20M.

Rob has historically backed founders pushing beyond existing market boundaries, including Uber, Square, Mint, eero, Gnip, and Planet Labs. His founder lens prizes CEOs who can move fluidly between a compelling high-altitude market narrative and microscopic product or hardware detail. His company-building guidance concentrates on hiring exceptional leaders, protecting cash runway, and maintaining a clear North Star.

Indico Capital

Check: Indico's live technology mandate states mostly Pre-Seed through Series A investments of €500K–€10M, with selective Series B/C participation. This is the firm's range rather than João's personal authority; founders should confirm vehicle, initial ticket and reserves.

João evaluates Southern European technology companies through a combined engineering, investment-banking, private-equity and venture lens. The documented firm mandate favors globally ambitious founders in Portugal, Spain and Italy, mostly from Pre-Seed to Series A, whose technical differentiation can become a durable international business rather than a local feature company.

DeepWork Capital

Check: The firm does not publish a person-specific check-size range on its current official website.

Kathy Chiu is part of DeepWork Capital's current team. No narrower person-specific investment mandate is published, so this profile uses the firm's official strategy: Back seed and Series A technology and life-science companies in Florida and other undercapitalized U.S. markets where hands-on support can compound regional advantages.

Khosla Ventures

Check: No personal check range is published. Khosla's Seed Fund supports technical and business-model experiments and may incubate companies; historical firm commentary described many seed investments around $1M–$2M. The Main Fund covers larger early and later rounds. These are firm-level references only.

Katie works at the company-formation boundary, incubating and backing early deep-tech and consumer ideas. Her experience spans satellites, AI research, consumer-company formation, entertainment partnerships, fundraising, recruiting, and product at Fei-Fei Li's Astrocade. That combination supports a thesis around technically novel products whose consumer behavior, narrative, team, and initial distribution can be designed together from day zero.

Indico Capital

Check: Indico currently publishes €500K–€10M technology investments, mostly from Pre-Seed through Series A with selective Series B/C. This is the live firm range, not Rui's personal check authority; exact sizing and vehicle should be confirmed directly.

Rui brings long-running Portuguese institutional venture experience to Indico's early-stage Southern European technology mandate. Public evidence supports a broad rather than narrow personal sector remit: find exceptional founders in Portugal, Spain and Italy, help them build for global markets from inception and reserve later-stage capital for the strongest validated opportunities.

Indico Capital

Check: Indico's current technology range is €500K–€10M, mostly Pre-Seed through Series A and selectively Series B/C. This is firm-level guidance, not Rui's personal commitment range; founders should confirm the applicable fund, initial size and reserves.

Rui combines venture investing with transaction and corporate-finance discipline. Within Indico's mandate, that supports globally ambitious Southern European technology companies from early validation through selective growth: the product and founders must be exceptional, but market scale, financing logic, governance and the economics of building an enduring international company must also hold together.

Adrian is an early-stage generalist whose prior portfolio and advisory work span fintech, enterprise software, cybersecurity, defense, productivity, and frontier technologies. His biography emphasizes partnering before defining strategic moments rather than arriving only for transactions; the relevant lens is whether a bold founder has an unfair advantage, a billion-dollar market, and a disciplined plan to remove the most important technical and market risks.
