What Happened

Zero Shot, a new venture capital fund with deep ties to OpenAI, is aiming to raise $100 million for its first fund. It has already written some checks.

Our Take

Smart people cashing their chips in, nothing more. OpenAI alums starting a $100M VC fund is just insiders who made their money and now want to make more by hedging the next wave. If OpenAI dominates, they win. If a competitor breaks through, they have a stake there too.

For companies raising from Zero Shot? You're dealing with people who've seen what actually works at scale. Expectations are gonna be brutal.

What To Do

Zero Shot will back teams with OpenAI pedigree first. If you don't have that, look elsewhere.
