I'm excited to finally announce our Race Capital $181M Fund II is officially closed! ????
My partners and I went through war to close this fund. We're very thankful for our whole team, our founders, and our LPs for their continued support.
To recap on our focus areas:
- Race Capital focuses on leading pre-seed and seed stage investments
- Across all things infrastructure including data infra, AI/ML infra, dev tools, financial infra, open source, computation infra, Web3, etc.
If you're a founder building in any of these areas would love to chat > [email protected]?
