Tyler Mincey

Tyler Mincey is Co-Founder and General Partner at Baukunst, a San Francisco-based pre-seed venture firm that raised a $100 million debut fund in 2022 - the largest debut pre-seed fund ever raised. A Princeton-trained mechanical engineer who helped ship the first iPhone and 150+ million Apple devices, Mincey brings rare hardware-to-venture credibility: he co-founded a car-tech startup (Pearl Automation), pioneered an embedded engineering team inside Bolt VC, and now leads Baukunst's bet that the next generation of breakthrough companies will be built at the intersection of technology and design.
