Abstract Ventures
Seed and Series A fund focused on frontier technology including AI, robotics, and computational biology.
Abstract punches above its weight class by being genuinely technical and founder-focused rather than playing the typical VC games. Hsu Han actually understands the products in their portfolio and can give real product advice, not just intro spam. They're not writing huge checks, but they're scrappy and helpful - think of them as the technical co-founder you wish you had on your cap table. The downside is they're still relatively small, so don't expect them to lead your Series B or provide massive follow-on capital.
- —Best for: Technical B2B founders who want investors who actually understand the product
- —Watch out for: Limited capital for large follow-on rounds as you scale
- —Known for: Hands-on product guidance and strong developer tools network
