The fund's investments range from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000, with a sweet spot around $1,500,000, focusing on Seed and Series A stages. Their portfolio includes a diverse array of innovative companies, from AI-powered defense and ultra-fast charging for batteries to EV charger management and mobile defense technology. Notably, their track record is significant, with a 12-year performance that places them in the top quartile, boasting a 39% IRR, 4.6x TVPI, and 2.9x DPI. Mark Scianna's forward-thinking approach extends to his investment strategy, where he started by participating in Palantir's Series D round in 2010 and expanded to investing through Y Combinator Demo Days, culminating in the launch of FDVC Fund I in 2022.
