Obsideo
Obsideo was founded in San Francisco in 2015 by Chris Dannen and Jason Mack. The firm concentrates on early-stage companies building artificial intelligence and enterprise software. Obsideo targets pre-seed and seed-stage opportunities, often leading or co-leading rounds. The firm's portfolio includes companies applying machine learning to developer tools, data infrastructure, and enterprise automation. The partnership operates with a lean structure typical of specialist seed funds, combining operational backgrounds with venture experience. No additional offices have been announced. Obsideo's structural differentiator lies in its narrow focus on the intersection of AI and enterprise — a mandate that positions it as a concentrated, thesis-driven seed investor rather than a generalist platform.
