Summary
I sit on the investment committee for our Enterprise AI investments, together with our Managing Partner Lu Zhang. A big part of my job is understanding the brave new world of the foundation model, which has raised the bar for all software. Fusion Fund just announced our $190M Fund IV! As always, we seek visionary founders solving big problems with foundational technology. Our typical investment is $1M - $4M in a priced seed round, and we also invest in pre-seed and Series A. Everyone on the investment team at Fusion has technical background and deep operational experience, and most of us have startup experience. Founders can rely on us to have a clue!
