The Hive operates as a fund and co-creation studio that works closely with founders and corporations to build enterprise-focused AI startups, backing a small, selective number of companies each year (about 4-5, with $1.5M-$2M in seed funding) that have gone on to be acquired by companies like Johnson Constrols, Qualcomm, Cisco, Sonos, Zuora, Operative, and Cardlytics. Beyond its Silicon Valley base, The Hive has built out operations in Southeast Asia, India, Brazil, and climate AI, and it runs public programs like The Hive Think Tank and Bay Area meetups, giving it a research-and-community role alongside its work as an investor.
