About Grdnt LLC

n/a GRDNT LLC is the independent management entity for Gradient Ventures, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm that spun out of Google in 2024–2025 to operate independently after launching in 2017 as Google’s dedicated AI-focused venture arm. The firm invests exclusively in early-stage AI-first companies, focusing on pre-seed and seed stages with selective Series A participation, targeting infrastructure, agentic platforms, robotics, perception, scientific discovery, and vertical applications in healthcare, fintech, legal, and enterprise software. Typical check sizes range from $750K–$2.5M for pre-seed, $1M–$5M (averaging ~$5.26M) for seed, and $5M–$25M for Series A, with the firm generally leading rounds and providing hands-on engineering support. Notable portfolio companies include Writer, Lambda, Streamlit, Krea, and Oura, with over 500 AI founders backed since inception and exits to NVIDIA, Snowflake, and Axon. Gradient distinguishes itself by offering technical mentorship, operational guidance, and direct access to AI infrastructure, positioning as the premier seed investor for founders building across the entire AI stack.
