PE/VC investors

Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

Financial Services Rebuilt Fintech innovation of the last decade was characterized by startups that made existing financial products digital-first. Now, many of those companies threaten legacy financial institutions and, as a result, financial products and services are being fundamentally reimagined. A new era of application layer financial product innovation is now possible, opening the gates to embed financial services inside software. Decentralized finance accelerates these possibilities even further, using code to replace gatekeepers. In many regions around the globe, underserved individuals and organizations are leapfrogging traditional financial services and gaining access to the financial sector for the first time via fintech. In our view, every sector in the world of financial services will be rebuilt from the ground up and we are still in the early innings of this transformation. Venture capital is living in a bygone era. Our industry uses its capital to fund disruption but, ironically, has done little work to disrupt itself. Hierarchy and homogeneous networks still dominate. Affiliated wealth creation is limited to closed networks of people. And the “game” is played with “rules” that don’t best serve founders. We know that having a diversity of perspectives leads to better outcomes. Organizations need to hear from enough vantage points to make the most informed decisions. And democratizing access to wealth creation broadens influence to a less uniform group. A change is far overdue.

Act One Ventures Act One Ventures
Act One Ventures invests in extraordinary founders transforming how modern businesses operate and scale in the AI economy. We’re early partners for those rearchitecting the systems behind modern enterprise — across infrastructure, automation, and decision-making. Founded by two former entrepreneurs, we invest like operators because we’ve been there. That experience — across IPOs, hard pivots, and shutdowns — informs how we help teams navigate the decisions that matter early: pricing, GTM, capital strategy, team design. When that kind of support meets founders who’ve lived the problem, it sets the stage for outsized outcomes like AuditBoard, an early Act One-led Seed investment that became the largest VC-backed software exit in the U.S. in 2024 at $3.15 billion.

ACTAI Ventures ACTAI Ventures
ACTAI Ventures was co-founded in 2021 by Bill Tai and Amanda Terry to back transformative companies at the earliest stages. Their investment thesis centers on harnessing digitization to make industries more efficient, grounded in a belief that technology can be a force for good and a driver of positive global impact. ACTAI Ventures goes beyond capital: building companies from scratch and curating the cap table from pre-seed through seed, and often with Bill serving as Chairman, giving them board-level influence from day one. Bill began investing in 1991 and has an unparalleled record of spotting unicorns early: he wrote the first check into Zoom and seeded Canva, Wish, Dapper Labs, Color Genomics, SafetyCulture, Treasure Data, and Bitfury, among others. His seed portfolio has produced 23 IPOs, earning him recognition by Business Insider as a Top 100 Seed Investor three years running (2021–2023). Amanda, co-founder of leading digital assets firm Metagood and a former Twitter executive, brings two decades of operating experience, a track record of growing companies, and recognized community leadership. She was a key employee at five digital media startups that exited to Google, AOL, Neustar, IPG and Capital One and started angel co-investing with Bill in 2018. She brings expertise in business development, sales, and product marketing, along with a strong network to help founders navigate hiring, fundraising, and scaling their companies. Their LP base is a global mix of entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions amplified by curated gatherings where founders collaborate, forge partnerships, and connect with new investors and customers. LPs also receive first-look access to direct deals, SPVs, and secondaries. In August 2025, their 2021-vintage fund was named one of four finalists for Allocator One’s “Fund Performance Leader,” recognized among 1,000+ emerging managers globally across 50 quantitative and qualitative criteria.
