General Partner, Founders Fund

About

Brian Singerman is a former senior Google engineer who helped create iGoogle before entering venture capital, bringing a deep product and engineering perspective rather than a traditional finance background. He focuses on frontier companies where sci-fi becomes real, like his early leadership on SpaceX and defense-tech investments, and follows a philosophy of upside maximization over downside minimization while avoiding rigid venture structures in favor of flexible collaboration.
