Overview

Banyan Ventures is a Pre-Seed New York City-based Venture Capital Firm investing in AI-Native Infrastructure and AI-Native Application Startups.

Banyan Ventures' mission is to help humanity achieve its true potential by investing in AI-native infrastructure and AI-native applications at the idea stage.

Banyan exclusively invests in Al-native technology, which is designed with Al at its core from inception. They deploy capital in two core areas only:

1. Al-Native Infrastructure: These companies reduces the cost of building Al & increase GPU utilization which includes subfields like silicon chips, foundational models, GPU compute, storage, networking, the Generative Al developer stack & more
2. Al-Native Application Software: These companies build products from day zero with state-of-the-art Al advancements native in the offering and, through virality or product value creation, possess extremely valuable first-party data. This provides greater value for end-users, drives faster adoption, and demands premium valuations.

Their latest fund amounts to $10 million and it specializes in AI infrastructure and software startups that have had the technology at their core since inception.

It will invest in 36 startups in seed and pre-seed stages, most of which have already achieved revenue, and will cut checks ranging from $200,000 to $425,000.

Portfolio: Langbase, ORI, Irismed, Positron.
