About Playground Global

At Playground, our mission is simple: to move civilization forward through the power of technology. When we started Playground, we weren’t just launching another venture firm—we were building the firm we wished we’d had when we were starting our own companies. We knew firsthand that the boldest ideas don’t just need capital; they need deep technical expertise, long-term vision, and a partner who understands the complexities of building from first principles. With $1.7 billion in assets under management, we invest in early-stage deep tech startups tackling the world’s hardest problems—companies reinventing computing, AI, automation, materials, and more. Based in Palo Alto, we work side by side with founders, helping them turn ambitious ideas into world-changing businesses. We don’t just bet on the future—we help build it.
