Avichal Garg’s tour through tech began at Google, and he landed at Facebook in 2012 after the social-media giant bought Spool, his mobile bookmarking startup. At Facebook, he led product management for a 400-engineer team. His investing career involved a brief stint at Y Combinator, after which he struck out on his own to build Electric Capital, a firm that invests across fintech and crypto. He’s now among the beneficiaries of a wave of capital pouring into Web3 — a catchall term for crypto, blockchain, and metaverse companies — with two newly closed funds worth $1 billion.

For years Sam Altman has been one of the most prominent seed investors. He’s perhaps best known for his five years as the president of the famous startup accelerator Y Combinator, a role he left in 2019. Altman’s keen eye for investments helped him jump 80 spots up to No. 13 on this year’s Seed 100 list. One example: After first backing the fusion-energy startup Helion Energy in 2015, he invested $375 million in the startup's $500 million Series E round in November, which boosted its valuation to $3 billion. When not investing, he leads OpenAI, an organization that works with open-source artificial intelligence.
