Anti Fund

#1 vc in the world. gp: @jakepaul @geoffreywoo @loganpaul

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

Anti Fund was founded upon two foundational axioms:

1. the future is forged at the intersection of tech 🤝 culture.

2. the best founders are “anti” because, by definition, their companies are highly disruptive to the status quo

Startups live and die on two levers: capital and attention. While capital is commodity, commanding attention is not.

Whether a company sells consumer products or is a foundational research lab, they all must compete on the ability to win mindshare and ultimately customers and revenues.

Venture capital is a power law business driven by iconoclasts who win.

Anti Fund’s mission is to find and fund these people.

@geoffreywoo @Antifund to the moon !

[Tara Keeney @tarakeeney]

I walked with @geoffreywoo who is building @antifund with @jakepaul & @loganpaul

Founders don’t just need capital anymore. They need distribution. They want a VC to back them who can help them get seen… which is why this is going to be huge!

See you boyssss on the ranch 🤠

[GEOFF @geoffreywoo]

biz influencers hate on college too much. it’s actually important to collect some badges early in life because it shows you have capability and track record. all things equal demonstrating a talent and proving you’re well-educated is a good start.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

A founder sends the update before the story is clean.

The model is messy. The buyer is specific. The product already removed a line item from someone’s Monday.

Anti Fund pays attention there.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

A founder sends 3 screenshots at 6:42am.

One customer using it wrong.
One log full of errors.
One message asking to add another team.

Messy, but much more interesting than a perfect market slide.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

Anti Fund is looking for startups that make the launch post feel late.

Customers are already using it.
The category is still awkward.
The product is explaining itself through invoices.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

A startup can look small until the customer asks for admin controls.

That is often the first strange data point:

someone inside the company is scared the product is becoming default.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

A founder raises, then disappears for 6 weeks.

No victory lap.
No funding thread.

Next update: new hire, faster shipping, one customer complaint fixed.

Anti Fund likes capital when it turns into motion.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

VC has a funny habit:

clean deck = serious founder
ugly demo = “come back later”
customer using it in payroll = wait what

Anti Fund likes the wait what.

[Anti Fund @Antifund]

Observation:

Funding gets misread when founders treat it like applause.

Capital is only interesting after it becomes more attempts per week.
