Team Inspired
We are incredibly proud to announce Inspired Fund IV, a $450M fund committed to backing the 0.01% of early-stage founders who are bending the world to their reality.
Seven years in, moments like this make us pause and reflect. Inspired was built on a simple belief: the best founders on the planet deserve a partner who does more than write a check. Most firms invest capital. We invest time, our unparalleled network, and our vast operating experience. As a highly concentrated firm, we are all in, every time, for each founder we back. What's unfolded since has exceeded what we imagined at the start.
We've watched founders take ideas that looked too early, too strange, or too far outside the lines anyone else was drawing and turn them into real revenue-generating companies. We've sat with founders at their lowest points, when the business looked like it might not make it, and helped them find a path forward nobody else had seen. That is the work. Not the check, but the hours of time that follow it.
The results are starting to speak to our value. We have 10 unicorns. 10 of our companies have broken $100M in revenue, four of them north of $400M. Our exits include a company on Nasdaq and acquisitions by some of the most respected names in tech.
It has been the privilege of our careers to be on the journey alongside these incredible founders and teams. Every board meeting, every late-night call, every win along the way has reminded us why we started Inspired in the first place.
We are committed to keep showing up, both for the wins but also the hard days and the decisions that don't make headlines. When a founder needs someone in the room, we make the call.
To our founders already building with us, thank you. For your trust, your dedication, and for being our partners.
Fund IV lets us go all in, for the founders already building with us and the ones we haven’t met yet. We’ve always thought in decades, not quarters, and we are here to win.
We are looking for the rare founder building an Inspired future.
Onwards and upwards.
