Anti Fund

Overview

Anti Fund is the venture fund through which Jake Paul says he formalized his investing activity.

Current Profile

Paul describes the fund as combining early-stage investing with later-stage bets on established founders and operating records. He rejects celebrity-investor exceptionalism and argues that Anti Fund should ultimately be compared with conventional firms through IRR and, especially, DPI.

Key Characteristics

• Uses a barbell approach spanning very early and later-stage investments.
• Claims attention, branding, and distribution as possible founder support.
