About Amino Capital

Amino Capital is a global venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, California, founded in 2012 by Larry Li and managing over $1 billion in capital under management. The firm’s investment thesis centers on the themes of “data moat” and “network effect,” targeting seed-to-growth-stage companies in sectors including Consumer Tech, PLG SaaS, Frontier Tech, AI, and Web3, with geographic focus on the US, China, and parts of Europe. Amino typically invests between $1 million and $5 million per deal and has led seed and Series A rounds, such as in String Labs, which incubated the blockchain protocol Dfinity. Notable portfolio companies include Chime, Webflow, Rippling, Grail, Weee!, Replit, and Turing, with the firm boasting over 20 unicorns and 35 exits. A distinctive point of view is its early backing of next-generation blockchain protocols starting in 2014 and its emphasis on leveraging data moats to create sustainable competitive advantages for startups. The firm is recognized for its deep technological expertise and strong connections to entrepreneurs with Silicon Valley spirit and global vision.
