Notable Investments
Plug N Play Ventures evolved from founder Saeed Amidi's Persian rug business at 165 University Ave. in Palo Alto, where he began informally backing building tenants like Google and PayPal, turning commercial real estate ownership into a proprietary sourcing channel for tech startups. The fund operates as part of a broader "innovation platform" that runs dozens of industry-specific accelerator programs across 50+ global locations, focusing on arranging pilots and proofs-of-concept between startups and corporate partners rather than traditional demo days, while serving as a gateway for international entrepreneurs entering Silicon Valley.
