Paul Bragiel is a managing partner and co-founder of Bragiel Brothers, an early-stage technology fund in Silicon Valley, and previously co-founded Golden Gate Ventures and Niu Ventures. His investment thesis targets pre-seed and seed stages across consumer Internet, gaming, mobile, payments, e-commerce, social networks, marketplaces, and SaaS, with a global footprint spanning four continents. He typically invests between $25,000 and $500,000 per deal, often participating in seed rounds as an angel investor rather than a lead. Notable portfolio companies include Uber, where he was an early angel investor and later joined the advisory board, as well as Stripe, Zappos, Unity, and Niantic (maker of Pokémon Go). Bragiel has backed over 200 companies collectively, earning more than 2,000 times his initial investment in Uber alone. A distinctive point of view he shares publicly is that aspiring investors should “start building on your weekends” and “make things happen” through hands-on creation rather than passive study.
