Origin Ventures is a 25-year-old venture capital firm that frames its entire thesis around backing companies defining the "Artificial Intelligence Economy," focusing specifically on AI infrastructure, AI-native software, and AI frontier tech rather than being a generalist fund. Unlike coastal-first funds, Origin has deliberately built a distributed partner base across all four continental U.S. time zones and maintains its own multi-year podcast series where partners and founders dissect company-building decisions as an educational tool.
