About Ali Partovi

Ali Partovi is the founder and CEO of Neo, a mentorship-driven venture fund and community he established in 2017 to invest in tech builders while they are still in college, and he is also a co-founder of the education nonprofit Code.org. His investment thesis focuses on early-stage opportunities, specifically pre-seed and seed rounds, with a primary geographic focus on discovering extraordinary people rather than chasing hot trends. Typical check sizes for his early-stage investments range up to $100,000, and he often acts as an early backer rather than a traditional lead investor in later rounds. Notable portfolio companies include Facebook, Dropbox, Airbnb, Uber, and Zappos, with Neo also serving as the first investor in Cursor before its $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX. Partovi’s distinctive point of view centers on his belief that his “superpower” is spotting extraordinary people over trends, and he aims to build Neo as a “100-year institution” for mentoring and funding the future of technology. He has publicly emphasized his passion for education, diversity in tech, and sustainable agriculture, reflecting these values in his investment focus
