Founders Fund is a San Francisco-based venture fund that invests in revolutionary technologies. We focus on investing in smart people solving difficult problems - to do so, we will invest at all stages across almost any sector. Unlike many venture firms in Silicon Valley, this means that Founders Fund does not limit itself to internet-based technology and software. Founders Fund has and will continue to invest in areas including biotechnology, energy, hardware, and aerospace. Founders Fund was founded by Peter Thiel, Ken Howery and Luke Nosek in 2005 and raised its first fund that year. In 2016 Founders Fund raised a $1.3 billion fund, its sixth fund to date.

Greycroft Partners is a New York based venture capital firm with a flexible, long term investment approach. We can invest at any stage of a startup's lifecycle, and have separate funds that invest at earlier stages ($100K to $5m first cheque, with follow-on rounds up to $10m) and later stage pre-IPO rounds ($10m first cheque, up to $35m total). Greycroft is flexible on ownership percentage, check size, and board seats which means we can bring together syndicates that may be impossible with the stricter requirements of other funds. We are truly long-term, and we often hold investments for over ten years. Although we have a greater number of investments in the US, we can and have invested globally, including Europe and Asia. Our portfolio companies benefit from active, hands-on assistance from the partners. Greycroft's partners work as a team, which means our CEOs have access to the collective rolodex and expertise of the entire partnership. We leverage an extensive network of media and technology connections to help you gain visibility, build strategic partnerships, and successfully exit.
