Align Ventures: Top-Decile Consumer & Deep Tech Fund

Align Ventures Delivers Top-Decile Returns

Align Ventures, led by Ben Bryce and Grant Hosking, has established itself as a top-decile performing fund with a distinctive dual focus on consumer brands and frontier technology. The fund's ability to generate strong returns across two seemingly different categories speaks to the team's versatile investment skill and deep market understanding.

Dual Thesis: Consumer Meets Deep Tech

While many funds specialize in either consumer or deep tech, Align Ventures spans both categories. The consumer portfolio targets brands with strong unit economics, cult-like customer loyalty, and clear paths to market leadership. The deep tech side focuses on frontier technology companies where scientific or engineering breakthroughs create defensible competitive positions. This barbell strategy provides portfolio diversification while maintaining the potential for outsized individual returns.

Track Record and Performance

Top-decile performance means Align Ventures ranks in the top 10% of comparable venture funds by returns. This level of performance is rare among emerging managers and signals strong investment selection, portfolio construction, and operational support capabilities. For LPs evaluating emerging managers, consistent top-decile performance across multiple investment categories is an exceptional signal.
