It’s always a proud moment to see my seed investment companies growing 💡 Around this time last year, I invested a quarter of a million dollars into the tech startup, Higgsfield AI. This year, the guys raised $8M from another founding round. One of their investors is a renowned Silicon Valley VC. So, what attracted me to the project? My rule of thumb as an experienced angel investor is to invest in people, not products. So, as much as Higgsfield’s technology revolutionizes video AI generation and content creation, getting to know its founder was just as important. Yerzat Dulat is an AI researcher and generative video expert from Kazakhstan and the co-founder of Higgsfield. His high-quality expertise and prior experience made it a no-brainer for me to invest. Fast forward a year later and their debut app, Diffuse, has millions of users in just 2 months. Higgsfield AI is also set to compete with industry giants like Open AI’s Sora 🚀 #VentureInvestor #AngelInvestor #VentureCapitalist #SeedInvestment #TechInvestor #TechStartup
