Max Levchin

Founder & General Partner, SciFi VC

About

Max Levchin brings an unusual combination of being an active public company CEO (Affirm) while simultaneously investing at SciFi VC, keeping his pattern recognition current from the trenches of building consumer and infrastructure products. He applies a founder-engineer's lens to investing by digging deeply into code quality, infrastructure robustness, and how data flows through systems during diligence, rather than staying at the market or financial level like most investors.
