About HaiQV AI Ventures

Founded in 2020 with a singular mission: back the builders of the AI era.

Built by Investors Who Understand AI

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.
