We invest early, when a technical insight is ready to become a company and the right partners can change its trajectory.

Some of the builders we back come from research. Others come from frontier labs, engineering teams, or companies where they saw something others didn't. What connects them is technical depth, originality, and the ambition to turn technical breakthroughs into breakout companies.

Laude is built by people who have done exactly that. Andy Konwinski co-founded Databricks and Perplexity. Pete Sonsini was an early investor and board member in both, with a decades-long track record backing exceptional technical founders at the earliest stages. Founders get that firsthand.

We keep the portfolio small on purpose. Every founder gets real access to the experience, judgment, and talent around Laude, and a closer view of where the field is moving. Our LPs include many of the world's leading researchers, engineers, and technical founders. Our community brings together people advancing the frontier of computer science through Laude Institute, Laude Lab, and the builders, projects, and teams we support.

You can see the future from here.
