Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

Podcast cover

The a16z Show

Anti Fund is launching a $100 million growth fund targeting high-impact sectors like AI, defense, and infrastructure, building on the founders' early-stage venture strategy. Jake Paul and Geoff Woo leverage their distinct backgrounds—Paul’s experience as a high-profile creator and athlete, and Woo’s technical and venture expertise—to identify and back ambitious founders. Success in this landscape requires extreme resilience, the ability to context-switch between entertainment and analytical rigor, and a focus on long-term compounding rather than transactional gains. By combining deep cultural influence with sophisticated capital allocation, the firm aims to shape the next decade of innovation. Durability in the creator economy stems from professional discipline, strategic diversification, and the courage to pursue high-conviction, mission-driven opportunities, moving beyond traditional media playbooks to achieve lasting impact.
