Today we're introducing Commit Capital: a $15M fund investing in technical founders at the earliest stage of building. We invest in B2B software, with a focus on dev tools and infrastructure. The unique structure of our fund follows from a simple observation: Get engineering moving faster, get to PMF faster.
- There are five of us (@kevinsimler, @aaymeloglu, @laura_yao, Brandon Burr, and Javier Lopez) , which is a staffing ratio that would make a normal fund's LP base raise an eyebrow. That gives our founders more hands-on resources per dollar invested than any other fund.
- Four of us were among the earliest engineers at Palantir, where we built and led development of the commercial product for over a decade. We've shipped software at speed and at scale, managed the kind of technical debt that accumulates when a product grows faster than its architecture planned for, recruited and managed one of the best workforces in tech, and spent a long time in the rooms where the hardest engineering calls get made.
- We don't want to be VCs. Okay, one of us is a normal, card-carrying VC, but the other four are spending the majority of their time embedded in our portfolio companies, working alongside the teams. Not advising (we don’t believe in advice) but building. If you raise from us, you get engineers who have done this before helping you ship sh*t faster.
We've been writing checks for several months already. @hydra_db , @sazabi , and @VibiumDev are a few we can talk about; several others aren't public yet. If you're building in dev tools or infrastructure and want engineers in the (virtual) room, not just on the cap table, please reach out!
