Compute Ventures

Compute Ventures is a venture capital firm that describes itself as founders-first, working closely with teams throughout their development rather than only providing capital. It says it embeds with founding teams from the earliest stages, contributing to code, strategy and day-to-day operations rather than staying at arm's length after making an investment. The firm continues supporting companies through every stage that follows, saying it maintains its conviction and keeps adding value well beyond the point of its initial investment. Compute Ventures focuses on the intersection of compute, infrastructure and gaming, backing platforms and experiences it sees as shaping the next phase of technology and entertainment. Its approach combines the technical involvement of an operating partner with the financial commitment of an investor, aiming to build alongside teams over the long run rather than simply funding them at a single stage.
