Hi, I'm Garry Tan — I'm a designer, engineer, and investor in early stage startups. Cofounder and managing partner of Initialized Capital, an early stage venture capital fund that was earliest in Coinbase and Instacart. We're a team of 6 investing partners with over $1 billion in assets under management and our startups have created more than $100 billion in market value in the past 8 years.

Previously a partner at Y Combinator. Invested in and directly worked with over 700 companies the earliest possible stage, often just an idea.

Before that, I cofounded Posterous and helped build it to a world-class website used by millions. (Acquired by Twitter) I also cofounded the engineering team for Palantir Technology's quant finance analysis platform, and designed the current Palantir logo and wordmark.

I love building things. Forbes Midas List 2019, 2020, 2021 🚀
