With a fund type classified as VC (Venture Capital), they have assets under management totaling around $250 million. Their preferred investment range lies between $500,000 to $1,000,000, with a sweet spot of around $750,000 for the initial investment.Cherubic has built a reputation for being the first believer in companies, often investing in ideas even before other external investors show interest. Their successful bets include their investment in Hims & Hers, a telehealth company that went public, and Calm, the #1 app for meditation and sleep, which they supported from early on to become a unicorn. Moreover, they've backed Flexport, a digital freight forwarder, Paidy, Japan's leading BNPL platform, and 91APP, Taiwan's first homegrown SaaS unicorn. Cherubic prides itself on its ability to foresee markets and trends on a global level and guide founders to think broadly.
