A high conviction seed fund

Venture capital is a service business. Relationships and trust don’t scale; reputation does. Hidden’s future depends entirely on how a handful of extraordinary founders speak about us long after our initial check clears.

Hidden is the product of a decade spent investing from pre-seed to Series A. Along the way, I spent two years at and six at Ludlow, learning from the best.

I ( blakeir ) partnered early with companies like Captions, Backbone, Deepgram, Boulevard, and Flex. Each one taught me something different about what durable greatness looks like. Also, I co-host Gamecraft, a podcast about the modern history of the video game business.

Our promise is simple: be the most aligned partner at seed. We make a small number of commitments each year to lead or co-lead seed rounds, offering decisive capital, sharp counsel, and full commitment.

We will compound that model. Founder by founder. Fund by fund. Into the far future.
