Objective

Mythos Ventures is an early-stage #venture-capital-firm that invests in companies developing prosocial technologies for the transformative Artificial Intelligence (AI) era. Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, the firm primarily provides capital to pre-seed and seed-stage startups, typically issuing checks ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. It focuses on supporting founders throughout the full life cycle of their ventures, specifically targeting teams that demonstrate first-principles thinking, integrity, and ambition. The organization is led by Vishal Maini, Jonathan Eng, and Paul Gu.

The investment strategy of the firm prioritizes "AGI-proof" companies that possess non-incremental technological improvements and a clear path to defensibility against future GPT-n systems. According to its investment criteria, the firm seeks projects positioned to benefit from AGI-era tailwinds while mitigating potential headwinds. These investments are directed toward technologies characterized by safety by design and positive externalities. It is backed by several notable organizations, including Metaplanet, Delphi Ventures, and ServiceNow, as well as a network of individual researchers and operators motivated by long-term human flourishing.
