U&I Ventures

U&I Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in San Francisco, California. It invests in early-stage companies building AI-native enterprise software, with a stated focus on software infrastructure, engineering infrastructure, cybersecurity, and IT infrastructure. Thematic areas of interest include AI reliability and safety, agent security, and non-human identity.

Typical cheques range from $250,000 to $800,000 or more, written at seed. The firm positions itself as a backer of early founders addressing urgent enterprise problems, with an emphasis on hands-on support and strategic introductions as core value drivers for portfolio companies.

The firm's distinguishing feature is an operator network of approximately 1,800 senior technology leaders, used both to identify enterprise technology gaps and to connect portfolio founders with product feedback, prospective customers, design partners, and talent. The network comprises 845 CTOs and engineering leaders, 645 CISOs and security leaders, and 310 CIOs and IT leaders - a composition that maps directly onto the enterprise buying constituencies its portfolio companies sell into.

U&I Ventures was founded by Kim Moore. Its model is described as operator-driven and community-led, drawing on senior technology executives to source insight and support investments in enterprise software, AI infrastructure, engineering infrastructure, cybersecurity, and information technology.
