There are no VCs that specialize purely in AI. You can only reach them indirectly via the big tech giants. The top AI VC is Intel Capital, but of course it's also just a mixture.

@Magellan Thanks for your answer! Do you think there is a systematic reason that there are no AI-only VCs? Or is it just a bit too early and you could keep your eyes open for an appropriate IPO?

@Epi I can only estimate that. I myself work for a VC but for blockchains. In general, even in the tech industry, there is simply no reason for IPOs. Why IPO? 1. founder wants to expand the company and needs debt financing. They in turn invest in such a specific industry already have a bunch of capital. The VC founder doesn't necessarily need the money to co-invest. 2. founder wants an exit to buy a yacht or whatever. If the founder in turn exits, I personally become skeptical, usually the company then runs worse, because the research runs worse. Should AI in 10 years make up a large part of our lives, there may be VCs with appropriate focus, which also go to the stock market and run, but currently there is no reason to found such a company and go public.

@Magellan Thanks for the background. Sounds plausible. So no AI VC AGs for now. 🤷
