Sound Ventures Put Hollywood's Playbook Into Venture Capital - Then Made a Concentrated Bet on AI

The Firm That Bets on Companies That Already Work

IVP Waits for the Rocket to Clear the Tower - Then Adds Fuel

Inside Accel-KKR’s 500-Deal Machine for the Software Nobody Can Switch Off
The Menlo Park investor has spent 25 years turning specialized software into a repeatable private-equity system - one that can buy, lend, consolidate, and still let founders steer.
Andreessen Horowitz
Andreessen Horowitz did not become a $100 billion venture firm by treating a check as the finished product. Its real wager is that founders will choose the investor with the strongest machine behind the money.

SoftBank began as a software wholesaler and became a telecom operator, a startup financier and now an aspiring owner of the AI stack. Its latest wager ties models, chips, data centers and robots into one capital-intensive system.
