Description
Tribe Capital is a venture capital investment firm founded in 2018 by Arjun Sethi, Jonathan Hsu, and Ted Maidenberg in Palo Alto, California. The firm built a state-of-the-art AI and data science engine for underwriting investments, which it makes available to its portfolio companies and partners. Tribe Capital runs a flagship venture fund as well as a co-investment program called "Firstlook" based on a bottoms-up view of product-market fit, and has developed a dedicated crypto investing practice applying the same data-driven, quantitative approach. It has since grown to over $2 billion in assets under management and incubated "Termina," its homegrown AI-powered quantitative underwriting framework.
The firm's portfolio spans a broad range of industries and company types, including cryptocurrency exchanges (Kraken, Binance.US, MoonPay), AI platforms (OpenAI, Instabase), fintech and banking (Mercury, Neo Financial, Relay, Griffin Bank), logistics (Shiprocket, BlackBuck, Skydropx), healthcare (Rula, Commure, Hone Health), aerospace and defense (SpaceX, Anduril, Applied Intuition), and many other technology-driven companies, reflecting its focus on high-growth, data-rich startups across the US, India, Canada, UK, and other global markets.
