Logan Paul joins brother’s startup after $30M funding round
Anti Fund, co‑founded by Jake Paul and Geoffrey Woo, announces its over-subscribed $30 million Anti Fund I. With the close of Fund I, Anti Fund’s assets under management now exceed $65 million.
Anti Fund also names Logan Paul as General Partner. Logan is a global superstar, professional wrestler, and Founder of PRIME, the world’s fastest growing beverage brand.
Anti Fund concentrates its investments in artificial intelligence and robotics. The firm’s focus spans pre-seed and seed-stage ventures, as well as select growth-stage industry leaders. Anti Fund’s portfolio includes OpenAI, Anduril, Ramp, Cognition, Polymarket, Flock Safety, and Physical Intelligence.
Geoffrey, Jake, and Logan are each serial entrepreneurs and disruptors. The firm believes that the best founders are rebels, and the ‘anti’ ethos resonates with the best engineers, scientists, and creators. Startups live and die on two levers: capital and attention. While capital is a commodity, attention is not. Every venture firm sells capital, but Anti Fund is unique in wielding attention to both source top founders and accelerate portfolio growth.
“The very best founders break from norm and, by definition, must be 'anti' the way things have been done in the past,” said Geoffrey Woo. “Anti Fund is built to find and fund these people.”
“Since inception, Anti Fund has embedded ourselves in the nests and communities of the boldest founders shaping society,” said Jake Paul. “We’ve let our results and relentless work ethic speak louder than anything else, driving rapid growth, strong brand recognition, and deep respect in a short amount of time. We are young, hungry capitalists who are just getting warmed up. We love this game, and we’re committed to scaling to the very top of it.”
"Anti Fund backs boundary-breakers,” said Logan Paul. “Big thinkers. Builders who redefine the rules and bet on themselves no matter the odds. That mindset has always been my personal driving force and it’s what we will bring to the table and to every founder we choose to partner with.”
“The closing of Fund I marks an important milestone for Anti Fund and validates the confidence investors have in their strategy,” said Rudy Sahay, Founder and Managing Partner of Aquarian Holdings. “They have carved out a unique position at the intersection of frontier technologies and culture, and I believe their fresh approach to venture will serve them well as they scale their platform.”
