Disruptive宣布设立10亿美元新基金,将投资至少10家AI公司,此前已重仓芯片初创Groq和语音生成公司ElevenLabs。
Disruptive's new $1B fund targets at least 10 AI companies, with prior investments in Groq (AI inference chips) and ElevenLabs (voice generation) — both now scaling commercial deployments. The fund operates without standard LP time horizons and explicitly prioritizes vertical AI stacks where hardware-software co-design delivers measurable SLAs, not general-purpose foundation models. For early AI application founders, this signals capital is shifting from 'parameter count' to 'production throughput'. Avoid building thin wrappers atop open LLMs; instead, define closed-loop metrics with hard SLAs (e.g., '92%+ ticket closure rate without human review', 'contract analysis under 8 minutes'). Crucially, map your 'minimum viable hardware dependency' upfront — e.g., '1x H100 supports 50K daily API calls' — so investors can rapidly assess infrastructure cost curves and scale inflection points.
