Marathon Fund

AI Fund is a venture capital firm that strives to move humanity forward by accelerating the adoption of AI. We help entrepreneurs like you solve large problems with creative uses of machine learning. We are a team of AI pioneers, operators, entrepreneurs, and investors, supported by top-tier partners including NEA, Sequoia, and Greylock. We know that building an AI company requires overcoming unique challenges, and we want to support you with technical, operational and business expertise on your journey. Our focus is in the earliest stages of a startup (seed, pre-seed, and even pre-pitch deck) where we hope our help can make the biggest difference. To build the next generation of tech giants, your team will require both industry know-how and AI expertise. We can help bring together and support the right team under your leadership, with the common goal of tackling the largest markets. LET US INVEST IN YOU Artificial intelligence is the new electricity. As electricity revolutionized the world and ushered in the Second Industrial Revolution, so AI is poised to radically transform the economy and the world. We are proud to support entrepreneurs in building companies that move humanity forward by harnessing this power. Important new businesses need to be created to impact on difficult problems in a variety of areas. We’re open to all AI applications, but some sectors we’re particularly excited about are human capital, health and wellness, next-generation enterprise, and MLOps. CO-FOUNDER AS A SERVICE Bringing a company from 0 to 1 is one of the hardest things a person can do (having done that numerous times, many of us at AI Fund understand that well). Partnering with a venture studio to launch your company is a force multiplier. A study by the Global Startup Studio Network (GSSN) found startups founded with a studio have a 30% higher success rate. They also grow bigger faster: almost every company launched from a studio receives seed funding and 72% of those will receive Series A funding. Founders in our studio program leverage lower barriers to entry, financial support, and higher levels of operational involvement to springboard great companies. We offer a streamlined company-building process, including operational excellence so founders can focus on product/market fit. And it’s not just back office support, it’s connections and introductions to quickly grow their business. Founders can build their companies within the nurturing space of an AI ecosystem that spans industries. Furthermore, our tech team is available to advise and assist with your AI/ML needs so you can quickly develop your product and take it to market. We want to see you win. Let’s win together.
