Founders

What earns an early check

Technical or domain depth

Founders who know something about their problem that the market hasn't priced yet.

A defensible wedge

Something hard to copy — data, workflow depth, distribution, or genuine engineering difficulty.

A market that is expanding

Categories being redrawn by AI rather than incrementally improved by it.

How we work

  1. A first conversation, usually within a week of reaching out.
  2. A technical read: architecture, model dependency, inference economics.
  3. References through operators who have worked with you.
  4. A decision. Typically two weeks from first call, and a clear no if it's a no.

No warm intro required. A short note about what you’re building is enough.

Questions

What founders ask

What stage does Supra invest at?

Supra invests at pre-seed and seed. We write early checks and move at the speed the round demands.

What does Supra invest in?

The software layers of the AI stack: infrastructure and inference, models and model tooling, data, retrieval and developer tooling, agents, orchestration and workflow, and applications and vertical AI. We watch compute and hardware rather than underwrite them.

Do you need a warm introduction to reach Supra?

No. A short note about what you are building is enough. Every note sent through the site is read and answered either way.

How long does Supra take to make a decision?

Typically two weeks from the first call, and a clear no if it is a no. The first conversation usually happens within a week of reaching out.

What does Supra look for in a founder?

Technical or domain depth, a defensible wedge that is hard to copy, and a market being redrawn by AI rather than incrementally improved by it.

Where is Supra based?

The San Francisco Bay Area. Supra can be reached at [email protected].
