Founded in 2020 with a singular mission: back the builders of the AI era.
HaiQV AI Ventures was founded in 2020 by Megan Thompson with the conviction that artificial intelligence and enterprise software would define the next generation of global technology leadership. With $140M raised in an oversubscribed seed round, the firm launched with strong institutional backing and a clear investment mandate.
Our name reflects our belief in high-quality ventures — companies that combine deep technical innovation with the product and go-to-market discipline needed to win in enterprise markets. We chose to specialize rather than generalize, focusing exclusively on AI and enterprise SaaS at the seed stage where we can add the most value.
Since our inception, we have partnered with some of the most ambitious technology teams in the world, backing companies that are reshaping commerce, professional networks, data infrastructure, and business communications. Each investment is a long-term partnership, not a transaction.
Our values are not aspirational statements — they are the principles that guide every investment decision and founder relationship.
We approach every market with deep curiosity, conducting original research and forming independent views before making investment decisions.
Our success is directly tied to the success of our founders. We structure our relationships and our fund economics to ensure complete alignment.
We believe the best investment decisions emerge from teams with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. Our team reflects this commitment.
We operate with transparency, directness, and respect. Every interaction — whether we invest or not — should leave founders better informed.
HaiQV AI Ventures is proud to be backed by one of the world's most respected venture capital institutions.
Bessemer Venture Partners is one of the oldest and most successful venture capital firms in the world, with a portfolio spanning cloud, consumer, and enterprise technology companies globally.
Whether you are an early-stage founder or a limited partner interested in our next fund, we welcome the conversation.
