Kevin Hartz’s A* Launches $450M Fund with a Focused, Deliberate Strategy

While many in the AI space aim for billion-dollar megafunds, Kevin Hartz, co-founder of Eventbrite and founder of the San Francisco-based venture firm A*, has chosen a more measured path. A* recently closed a $450 million fund, deliberately steering clear of the huge AI megafunds trend now prevalent in venture capital, opting instead for a ‘less-is-more’ investment approach.
