Guys, Emergent Ventures, AI-focused, most recent fund, $76 million fund closed in January of 2021.

They've made about 14, 15 investments out of that already.

Target a $1.5 million check size and a 10% equity stake and usually hold $3 to $5 million in that fund for their winners that are really taking off in terms of the reserve.

They got two partners today looking to scale, really focused on, again, those AI machine learning startups as they look to deploy money in a smart, capital-efficient way.

Hey folks, my guest today is Anupam Rastagi.

He's a seasoned venture investor and his letter played a substantial role in over 20 successful technology investments globally, ranging from early to expansion stage and several larger exits.

This is a little unique for the show.

We rarely have investors on, but Anupam reached out and I said, you know what, let's get him on.

He's early stage.

He's backed some similar founders that we've backed at FounderPath.

So Anupam, we're excited to have you today.

How are you?

You bet.

I didn't mention this in the bio, so I should.

You are now with emergent.vc.

You guys have a sector focus on AI and machine learning tools, or how would you edit that statement?

Yep.

And help us understand sort of, I guess, last fund that you guys closed, what was the size and what's your thesis?

How many portfolio companies, that sort of thing?
