Bixby is an early-stage venture-capital firm based in 📝Los Angeles, CA, founded in 2025 by 📝Samuel Adams. It backs technical founders at the pre-seed and seed stages, with a focus on teams already demonstrating early traction, and partners closely with them to move products from initial market pull toward durable operating scale.
The firm reflects Adams's background in go-to-market execution and early-stage operations. Before founding Bixby, he served as Director of Portfolio Support at 📝Struck Capital, advising more than 20 portfolio companies, and earlier co-founded and led the Los Angeles media company dot.LA from 2019 until its 2024 acquisition. Bixby concentrates on the earliest institutional rounds, positioning itself as a hands-on operating partner rather than a passive source of capital.
Bixby — through founder Samuel Adams — co-hosted the founder dinner I attended in June 2026, alongside 📝Fenwick & West.
