MVP Ventures

Investment decisions are led by Managing Partners Andre de Baubigny and Weston Moyer. De Baubigny brings experience from Groupe Arnault, while Kevin Fong, a former Managing Partner at Mayfield Fund, contributes as a Partner. The firm operates with a lean partnership group, suggesting decisions remain concentrated at the top.

MVP Ventures sources through the professional networks of its partners, notably Kevin Fong’s four-decade venture career and the Stanford GSB alumni community where multiple team members are active. The firm’s European limited partner relationships, including with APJ Kapital, also create cross-border origination channels.

The firm states a focus on early-stage and highly technical companies, covering Seed, Start-up, and occasionally complex situations or late-stage growth. Its confirmed portfolio — including LayerZero, Auradine, and Magic Eden — indicates a bias toward Seed and Series A rounds in software and crypto infrastructure.

Yes. While the firm does not advertise a formal co-investment program, the presence of a seasoned venture partner like Kevin Fong and investments in syndicated rounds such as LayerZero suggest MVP Ventures regularly participates alongside other institutional venture investors.

A third of MVP Ventures' 18-person team is dedicated solely to post-investment support, specifically go-to-market acceleration, executive hiring, and follow-on capital introductions. This staffing ratio is unusual for a firm of its size and forms the core of its 'most value per dollar' proposition to founders.

The firm's limited partners include single-family offices, with Milan-based APJ Kapital as a confirmed backer. The founding team's connections to Groupe Arnault alumni networks and European wealth are likely additional sources, though the firm does not disclose its full LP base.

MVP Ventures does not publish an explicit avoidance list. Its portfolio focuses on enterprise software, fintech, digital health, AI/ML, and crypto. The firm’s emphasis on 'highly technical' and 'defensible' technology suggests it is unlikely to back consumer social, low-moat marketplace, or non-technical business models.
