That is more than 13 times the size of its $30 million debut fund, which closed in December 2025. In June 2026 the firm also closed a $100 million growth fund, and it now manages more than $180 million. His brother, Logan Paul, joined as a general partner in 2025.
The portfolio includes heavyweight tech names such as OpenAI, Anduril, Cognition, Helion and Erebor. The move underlines Jake Paul's reinvention, from prank videos to boxing and now to a seat among Silicon Valley investors.
