Notable Investments
Shine Capital is a venture fund founded by former Spark Capital general partner Mo Koyfman, who led landmark investments in Plaid and Warby Parker, and has raised $435M across three funds since 2020 with an unusually institutional LP base including Boston Children's Hospital and public pension systems. The firm invests across an adventurous mix of AI/ML productivity, crypto infrastructure, tokenized biopharma IP, and experimental consumer models, backed by a deliberately eclectic team combining tier-1 VC, frontier crypto, crowdfunding, and investment banking experience.
