About
Elizabeth Yin and Eric Bahn left 500 Startups in 2017 to raise Hustle Fund, joined by Shiyan Koh as a third general partner. The pitch is speed and volume at the very earliest stage: small first cheques, a decision after one or two meetings, and a wire the same week. Fund I closed at $11.5M, Fund III at $46.1M in September 2022, taking the firm past $125M under management. It also runs Angel Squad, a paid programme giving individual angels access to its deals.
