Frequently asked questions
How does Silicon Ventures source proprietary deal flow?
The firm sources through Wang's network of serial entrepreneurs and operators across the US, Europe, Asia, and Greater China. Adviser Michael I. Jordan, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, provides additional access to deep-tech and AI talent pipelines from UC Berkeley. This combination of geographic reach and technical advisory creates a sourcing funnel distinct from generalist seed funds.
Does Silicon Ventures participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Available information shows only direct company investments, primarily at seed and Series A. The firm's portfolio features direct positions in Firework, XP Health, Mati, Spenmo, and a stealth fintech founded by Alejandro Crosa. No fund-of-funds or LP commitments are disclosed publicly.
What investment stages does Silicon Ventures typically target?
Seed and Series A are the core stages. Portfolio evidence includes seed rounds in Spenmo, Mati, and Firework, with follow-on Series A participation in Firework. Wang states she invests from seed through Series A, performing her own underwriting on founding teams, business models, and market trends.
How is Silicon Ventures different from Wang's prior firm Long Venture Partners?
Long Venture Partners was an institutional early-stage fund where Wang served as a general partner, investing in Amplitude and Bolt. Silicon Ventures is Wang's independent vehicle, using family capital rather than outside LP money. The advisory structure — particularly Michael I. Jordan's involvement — signals a deeper emphasis on AI and machine learning at the portfolio-construction level.
