Thesis
Soma Capital Management LLC is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm established in 2015, focusing on early-stage software and technology startups with a global reach across Africa, Asia, Latin America, MENA, and the United States. Their investment thesis centers on identifying exceptional founders at the pre-seed and seed stages, particularly those building innovative companies in AI & Machine Learning (including AI applications, LLM tools, and AI infrastructure), B2B SaaS, and developer tools. They actively seek technical founders with a clear advantage and avoid heavily regulated businesses unless they possess specialized expertise. Soma Capital often leads rounds with high conviction, providing financial support through uncapped SAFEs at 0% equity for pre-seed rounds and engaging in selective Series A follow-on investments. With AUM ranging from $1 billion to over $1.36 billion, their typical check size for pre-seed is $100K-$500K via SAFEs, and for seed rounds, it's $250K-$1M, with the capacity to invest up to $2M for strong founders. They have a notable relationship with the Y Combinator ecosystem, having invested in numerous YC graduates.
