Anti Fund, the venture and growth investment platform co-led by Managing Partners Geoffrey Woo and Jake Paul, has closed its oversubscribed Anti Fund Growth I at $100 million, pushing the firm’s total assets under management above $180 million, according to an announcement.

Growth I formalizes the second half of Anti Fund’s barbell strategy, which pairs early-stage venture checks into technical founders with concentrated growth investments in companies converting their technical edge into institutional-scale businesses. The firm’s first fund, Anti Fund Venture I, closed at $30 million in December 2025, when Logan Paul joined as General Partner.

Growth I has already built positions in OpenAI, Anduril, SpaceX, Cognition, Saronic, Etched, Helion, Erebor, and Modal, spanning artificial intelligence, frontier infrastructure, defense, robotics, and energy.

“Anti Fund was built to back exceptional founders before the market fully understands them. Venture I lets us invest at the earliest stages, when taste and conviction matter most. Growth I lets us keep backing and turbocharging the same kind of founders later, when they are running the companies that define our generation,” said Woo.

Investor Base

Aquarian Holdings, which manages approximately $27.1 billion in AUM as of March 31, 2026, is serving as an anchor investor across both Venture I and Growth I through its investment advisory platform. Other limited partners include FocusPoint Private Capital Group, which also served as exclusive placement agent; Daniel Michalow, an investor and former partner at D.E. Shaw; Matt Holt, founder of Thoreau Group and former managing director and president of private equity at New Mountain Capital; Athanor Capital; and Asher Genoot, chief executive officer of Hut 8 Corp.

“As a founder, I understand the challenges of building and scaling a business. The Anti Fund team offers a distinctive, tough-love engagement model, accelerating early-stage momentum and challenging growth companies to reach beyond their perceived limits,” said Rudy Sahay, Managing Partner of Aquarian Holdings.

Jake Paul, whose incubated ventures include W and Betr Media, addressed the firm’s positioning. “Capital is everywhere; attention, trust, and real founder help are not. At the earliest stages, founders need believers. As companies scale, the most successful founders look for partners who can both support and challenge them to go further,” Paul said.
