Profile

What started as a stealth, artificial intelligence tech recruiting platform evolved into a new venture model.

We began our journey in 2013 as a bootstrapped startup with the goal of disrupting the way that venture capital is done.
We believed that applying unmatched data and technology to address the top pain points of early stage startups would produce an unfair advantage and outsized success for our portfolio.

Since launching our first fund in 2015, we have scaled quickly to $1B in regulatory assets under management. We continue to build products and scalable processes to help our companies with the early stages of their journey.

Our philosophy is simple. We find companies we believe in and then put our whole team behind them.

We are a team of engineers, data scientists, founders, operators, and investors. We have PhDs, chess champions, race car drivers, and #1 cited journalists in our mix.

We do OKRs, we measure NPS, and we are constantly using data and feedback loops to improve our products and services in support of founders

SignalFire can be reached through its website signalfire.com, its LinkedIn page and its X account. Its general enquiries address is [email protected]. Cold-mailing a general inbox rarely reaches a partner, so Private Equity List also lists the investment-team contacts for SignalFire — names, roles, verified work emails and LinkedIn profiles — available on a Pro plan from $129/month (see pricing). Contacts are sourced from the firm's website and LinkedIn and re-verified on a rolling cycle. Spot a stale contact, or none at all? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
Yes. Every field on this page — profile, funds, investment criteria, portfolio and investment-team contacts — is available programmatically through the Private Equity List REST API and MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can query SignalFire directly instead of scraping this page. One subscription covers both the web app and machine access — see API & MCP.
Private Equity List re-verifies investor profiles on a rolling cycle, pulling from the firm's own website and LinkedIn rather than a one-off import. This profile was last updated on 16 August, 2026. Something out of date here? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
