"We’re not in the business of raising capital, we’re in the business of backing people." 👏🏻
@nicberardi & @Tono_Osio of #KF20 are authentic, generous investors, & we're so excited about what this fund means for them, the incredible founders they back, & the entire @ANIMOvc team!
@nicberardi@ANIMOvc@nicberardi@Tono_Osio i absolutely love this video, it is so authentically animo! this is a people business and your team is in it for all the right reasons, so great to partner with this exceptional team!
Grateful to the LPs that believe in us and the founders we get to work with (many of whom are now LPs themselves!).
Being on this journey with @Tono_Osio, @Caroa25 & @vicufranco is a true gift.
We invest $500k-$2.5m in companies raising their first $500k-$5m in the US.
Practically every dollar to our name is invested in the firm simply because @ANIMOvc is an extension of who we are
We’ve been going at it for three years and expect to do it for another thirty.
Since inception, we’ve led 26 pre-seed/seed rounds across enterprise and consumer.
Just like we made 8-10 investments per year through the hype cycle, we'll do the same through any cycle
Today, we’re thankful to announce we’ve raised $78m for our second @ANIMOvc fund.
It is not a celebration because we’re not in the business of raising capital. We’re in the business of backing people.
Here’s a little video that explains further: https://t.co/wiJny81ap2
last five days in #nyctech:
🔥 @roman raises at $5B
🔥 @olo lists (currently trading at $4.6B)
🔥 @Dataminr raises at $4.1B
🔥 @KomodoHealth raises at $3.3B
remember when the doubleclick acquisition by google ($3.1B/2007) was the biggest deal here for a decade?
#nyctech on 🔥
Happy when great things happen to great people. @barak_kaufman and @shon_elysees are two incredible humans.
Thankful for the journey and for @intello_io to be the first exit in fund I for @ANIMOvc!

Time for a founder poll (pre-Series B)
Assume you have:
- 18 months of runway
- Growing revenue as planned
- Beating your direct competitors + incumbents in past few deals
Do you take another 10% dilution to mitigate runway risk? (uncertainty around election, economy, etc)
