We've closed our 3rd fund at 3x our previous funds!
My partner Michael Silton and I are humbled to share the closing of Act One Ventures Fund III this past December with $73mm in committed capital, 3X the size of our prior fund. This fund took us three brutal years to raise. I was caretaker for my father Alfredo Guerrero Alarcon as he battled cancer in 2021, and then passed away in 2022 at the age of 75. I know how proud he was of me then, and I can feel how proud he is of me now; we've broken those generational curses. Thank you so very much to all of our LPs who came back to support us, and to the new ones who are now also part of our familia. It means the world that you came into this fund at this critical moment in our firm's life. If you know us, you know that everyday for us is always about the founders. A big thank you to our current founders who've allowed us to be a small part of their journeys. We are looking forward to investing in more exciting teams building outstanding business software solutions for an ever changing world.

Team Cartwheel is on fire! Adding Toast to their roster of collaborators, which includes Uber and Square, shows just how much they're reshaping food delivery. Founders Alex Vasilkin, Dan Zamylin, and Magdim Metshin are all operators themselves and understand the solutions the restaurant industry needs. Since we first invested in 2021, Cartwheel has seamlessly integrated their product into every facet of restaurant delivery through strategic partnerships – from point-of-sale software to marketplaces and delivery partners. We're excited for the future. #founders #hybriddelivery
