About Andy Chou

Andy Chou is a Stanford CS PhD and former co-founder/CTO of Coverity, a static code analysis firm acquired by Synopsys for ~$400M, who now operates as an individual angel investor and startup advisor in San Francisco. He focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage startups in enterprise software, cybersecurity, developer tools, and technical infrastructure, with a primary geographic focus on the United States. His typical check size ranges from $500K to $3.0M, though some reports note seed checks around $4.7M, and he often acts as an advisor rather than a formal lead investor. Notable portfolio companies include Dasera (which exited in October 2024), Moderne, Loom, and LaunchDarkly, where he serves as an investor and advisor. Chou’s investment philosophy emphasizes early-stage technology startups with strong technical foundations and a global vision, particularly in enterprise applications. He does not appear to have published distinctive public writing or a widely cited point of view beyond his advisory roles and investor profile summaries.
