Alpha Intelligence Capital
No summary available yet.
Alpha Intelligence Capital is the real deal — this isn't some buzzword-chasing fund that discovered AI in 2023. Antoine Blondeau has been grinding in AI since the late 90s, built Sentient into a $143M+ behemoth, and was literally part of the team that created the tech behind Siri. Their InstaDeep exit to BioNTech for $680 million in 2023 proves they can spot and nurture genuine winners. CB Insights ranked them as the 5th Top Global Investor in AI companies alongside Sequoia and Salesforce Ventures. But here's what matters: they're technical enough to separate real AI from the hype, and they've got the network (advisors include Yann LeCun and Erik Brynjolfsson) to help portfolio companies actually succeed. The downside? They're selective as hell and probably won't hand-hold you through basic product-market fit.

- —Watch out for: High technical bar — they'll grill you on your AI stack and model architecture
- —Known for: Massive exits (InstaDeep $680M), legendary AI network, pre-LLM AI credibility
