## About Punch Capital

Punch Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the best immigrant founders building in the unicorn tech companies of tomorrow. Founded in 2022 by Managing Partner Shane Sabine, the firm operates as a solo-GP fund, with Sabine based between Miami and Majorca.

The firm backs first- and second-generation immigrant founders primarily in B2B and AI, operating as a generalist across sectors rather than following a narrow vertical thesis, with a network of 500+ operators and investors it calls "the edge."

Punch Capital has made 14 to 28+ disclosed investments, co-investing alongside General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures. Portfolio companies include CrewAI, Doola, Republic, and GetThera, with roughly 43% of portfolio companies going on to raise follow-on funding, including Series A rounds led by Union Square Ventures and Insight Partners.

Typical check sizes range from $50,000 to $300,000, with a sweet spot around $100,000, concentrated at pre-seed and seed with selective Series A participation. Fund I raised roughly $3 million from a single family office; Fund II is being rebranded as the "American Dream Fund," alongside a companion foundation for scholarships and research grants, reflecting Punch's founder-first, network-driven investment approach.
