About USV

Union Square Ventures announced $900M in new capital commitments (versus $275M for its prior core fund), alongside a partnership reshuffle adding new GPs and folding its standalone energy fund (run since 2021) back into the core strategy. Focus: AI at the application layer, "data at the edge" (robotics, manufacturing, sensor networks), trust/security/memory-aligned AI infrastructure, and energy. Historically US-centric, early-stage generalist investor.
