DVC Ventures

DVC Ventures is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm founded by Marina Davidova and Nick Davidov, focusing on accelerating the global AI ecosystem through targeted investments in infrastructure, model development, and application-layer technologies. The firm has emerged as one of the most active AI-focused investors globally, building on a large portfolio of early-stage AI startups and a deep network of founders, engineers, and researchers.

DVC Ventures invests exclusively in artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on core AI infrastructure, vertically integrated model stacks, and application-layer solutions. Its strategy centers on identifying scalable technologies that bridge the gap between foundational model innovation and real-world deployment. The firm manages two complementary funds designed to support AI startups at critical growth stages: a seed fund investing $100K–$300K in AI startups led by repeat or experienced founders at pre-seed and seed stages, and a $75 million fund dedicated to Series A and B investments in high-growth AI startups.

The firm has a healthy pipeline of companies and plans to, on average, invest in one company per quarter for a total of approximately 20-25 companies over the next 4-5 years. DVC Ventures' typical investment stage is post-product market fit, and its initial capital is focused on enabling the start-ups to scale through its DVC Advantage Program. Operating from both the US and India, DVC Ventures creates a bridge that connects two of the largest start-up ecosystems in the world.
