Their rise comes as investors of all sorts clamor to pour funds into the booming venture capital asset class, and many founders view certain solo VCs as a special talent who can give their startup a boost.
PRODUCT HUNT JOSH BUCKLEY HYPER PRODUCT SERIES
Individual investors have always been a part of the venture capital ecosystem, but they generally have written small checks for the earliest-stage companies.īut it's getting increasingly common to see deals like Playco's, where solo VCs invest in and even lead Series A or late-stage rounds. In addition, Buckley, a co-founder of Mino Games, in July launched Hyper, a Y Combinator-like accelerator program with partners including Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz. Since then, Buckley, who juggles investing with his role as the CEO of Product Hunt, has raised his second $200 million fund, according to a person familiar with the matter. In the Playco deal, it was Buckley, an under-the-radar investor, rather than the legendary Sequoia, who determined the price of the round and took the board seat at the gaming company. In a co-led deal, one lead investor usually sets the terms and the other joins with an equal-sized check.
