AI became (conveniently) an all-consuming mantra for venture firms big and small. But, a persistent promise-to-reality gap seems to have chipped away at the core narrative with accelerating force for much of the last 18 months.. Read more about our thoughts on investing in AI below

Early stage capital for disruptive technology companies.
About us
We partner with disruptive technology companies across software, marketplaces, fintech, and digital health by offering founders, early investors, and limited partners the most transparent, research-driven, and operator-centric capital. We believe it’s important to have a meaningful point of view on a space and sector *before* meeting teams so their most precious resource - time - is well spent. Our investment themes and specific company targets are substantially generated by a network of operators: a special class of Limited Partners which we call our Advisory Partners. We have strong conviction that operators who are actually in the arena each day are best positioned to identify the differentiated people and ideas we want to back. We reject wholeheartedly the growing sense that VCs should be hands off cheerleaders - we want to be tremendously helpful and positive thought partners on a weekly basis. We believe founders and early employees deserve honest, empathic capital partners who are supportive, emotionally invested and transparent. We take extreme personal accountability for helping to make each of our portfolio companies successful. We participate alongside and after world-class investors, and encourage our extensive network in the later-stage growth capital industry to follow behind us when companies have demonstrated successful scale. We believe the best founders come from diverse backgrounds and we enter first meetings with no preconceived notions of the “correct” background for a founder. We don’t compromise in one area, however: unquestioned integrity.

Our Managing Partner, Rob Biederman, was featured in Fortune's Term Sheet discussing the current AI investment landscape. Rob highlights a crucial point: “Most people looking for gold lost money, and most people backing AI concepts are going to lose money... The gains are going to accrue to a relatively small number of firms.” As venture capital continues to evolve, Rob's insights remind us that the key to success lies in finding unique opportunities and avoiding the hype.

Congrats to Halo on its partnerships with NSF to help scientists at universities connect with companies that can advance their research! #movescienceforward #nsf Kevin L.
NSF is investing $1.2 million in a pilot effort to catalyze diverse partnerships among U.S. institutions of higher education and industry innovators. The 18-month effort will be led by Halo, an artificial intelligence-powered technology platform that helps corporate research and development teams more efficiently connect with scientific partners and bring new innovations to market faster. Halo will initially focus on matching industry researchers with academic scientists in materials science and engineering at emerging research institutions, institutions of higher learning that receives less than $50 million in federal research expenditures. “Academic-industry partnerships fuel innovation in key technology areas, leading to more opportunities for the U.S. to be globally competitive in science, technology and engineering on the global stage,” said Erwin Gianchandani, NSF assistant director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships. “To foster these partnerships that lead to innovation, it is imperative that researchers across a wide range of universities and companies connect with industry through a centralized platform that makes it easy to identify areas of mutual interest.” Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4au0dTj 📷: Nathaniel Su, The University of Akron #higherlearning #NSFfunded
