Jake Paul's Anti Fund Raises $65M as AI and VC Convergence Gains Valley Traction

Jake Paul's venture capital firm, Anti Fund, has raised $65 million in assets under management, leveraging his influence to secure allocations in hot rounds at OpenAI, Anduril, Polymarket, and Ramp. Co-founded in 2021 with partner Geoffrey Woo and Logan Paul, the firm shifted from a Miami-based rolling fund to an institutional vehicle emphasizing attention-driven distribution and rebel-focused investing. Paul, ranked third on Forbes’ Top Creators list in 2024 with about $50 million in earnings, licensed his likeness to Sora, OpenAI’s text-to-video platform, generating over a billion impressions for portfolio companies. Anti Fund, which has over $65 million in AUM, is part of a broader shift in Silicon Valley where a16z and First Round Capital are integrating media and marketing capabilities. The firm’s 2026 outlook is underscored by Paul’s reach on X, where his 4.4 million followers can amplify visibility, though his provocative public statements pose reputational risks.
