Anti Fund announced the closing of its oversubscribed $100 million Anti Fund Growth I. With the close of Growth I, Anti Fund now has more than $180 million in assets under management.
Anti Fund is led by Managing Partners Geoffrey Woo and Jake Paul, with Logan Paul serving as General Partner. The firm invests across venture and growth opportunities, with a focus on technical founders and category-defining companies.
Growth I formalizes the second half of Anti Fund’s barbell strategy. The firm’s venture fund, Venture I, focuses on investing at the earliest stages, while Growth I concentrates capital behind companies where technical edge, product judgment, customer urgency, and market timing are converting into institutional-scale value.
Through Venture I and Growth I, Anti Fund said it aims to back founders before the market fully recognizes them and continues supporting them as they begin defining major categories.
Growth I has already built positions in companies including OpenAI, Anduril, SpaceX, Cognition, Saronic, Etched, Helion, Erebor, and Modal. The portfolio spans artificial intelligence, frontier infrastructure, defense, robotics, energy, and pre-IPO technology.
The fund is backed by a global base of limited partners. Aquarian Holdings is serving as an anchor investor across both Anti Fund Venture I and Growth I through its investment advisory platform, which managed approximately $27.1 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2026.
Additional limited partners in Growth I include FocusPoint Private Capital Group, Daniel Michalow, Matt Holt, Athanor Capital, and Asher Genoot.
Anti Fund said its platform combines capital, product feedback, go-to-market support, media reach, customer access, strategic relationships, and ongoing founder engagement through curated events and working sessions.
The firm’s investment focus includes artificial intelligence, robotics, frontier infrastructure, defense, energy, fintech, consumer technology, and select pre-IPO companies.
Anti Fund said its model is built around operators backing operators, with Woo, Jake Paul, and Logan Paul bringing experience building and scaling companies across industries.
Support: FocusPoint Private Capital Group served as the exclusive placement agent for Growth I.
KEY QUOTES:
“Anti Fund was built to back exceptional founders before the market fully understands them. Venture I lets us invest at the earliest stages, when taste and conviction matter most. Growth I lets us keep backing and turbocharging the same kind of founders later, when they are running the companies that define our generation.”
Geoffrey Woo, Managing Partner at Anti Fund
“As a founder, I understand the challenges of building and scaling a business. The Anti Fund team offers a distinctive, tough-love engagement model—accelerating early-stage momentum and challenging growth companies to reach beyond their perceived limits.”
Rudy Sahay, Managing Partner at Aquarian Holdings
“We are not trying to be just another fund. Capital is everywhere; attention, trust, and real founder help are not. At the earliest stages, founders need believers. As companies scale, the most successful founders look for partners who can both support and challenge them to go further. Anti Fund is built for both.”
Jake Paul, Managing Partner at Anti Fund
