About Alan Meckler

Alan Meckler is the Co-Founder and General Partner of Asimov Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm based in New York, where he previously founded Mecklermedia, led its IPO, and sold it for $274 million in 1998. His investment thesis focuses exclusively on early-stage startups in the 3D printing, robotics, and blockchain sectors, with the firm raising a $30 million fund to concentrate efforts in these spaces. While specific check sizes and lead/follow behavior are not publicly detailed, Meckler historically made seed investments in companies like HowStuffWorks, Tutor.com, and AuctionRover.com. Notable portfolio companies include HowStuffWorks, which was sold for $240 million, and Tutor.com, sold for $40 million. Meckler holds a distinctive point of view that metal and organic materials will duel as dominant 3D printing materials, a prediction he made for the 2016 industry landscape. He also served as Senior Portfolio Manager for the “3D Printing and Technology Fund,” a mutual fund introduced by Outlook Funds Trust.
