adityaag · x · 2026-08-06
Early-stage VC firm SPC announced the closing of Fund IV with $575M in capital, bringing the firm's total AUM to $2B.
SPC emphasizes its philosophy that "the person comes before the idea," focusing on supporting top-tier technologists during the exploratory "-1 to 0" phase. The firm notes a widening gap between what's possible and what's being attempted in the AI era, as falling trial costs make previously insurmountable problems solvable. Past investments include Baseten, Gamma, Render, and Luma Labs.
