About Sam Awrabi

Sam Awrabi got in early on experiment tracking and model management, joining MissingLink.ai right after its acquisition by Samsung and then becoming Comet ML's first revenue hire, where he helped bring on more than 150 customers including Uber, Cisco, Etsy, and Netflix; that early experience has made him someone technical AI founders bring in as an advisor from day one, having consulted for companies like Deci, ClearML, Layer, Datature, Deepnote, Activeloop, Segmind, Nomic, and Ori. He's also notably young for the role he's in, running his fund at Banyan Ventures as a 31-year-old solo general partner after raising $10 million on his own.

Avg Check Size

Banyan Ventures is a solo-GP fund led by Sam Awrabi and describes itself as the only AI-native venture firm headquartered in New York, focusing heavily on AI infrastructure and technical frontier areas like distributed compute, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing rather than application-layer AI. The firm takes a hands-on approach—writing first checks and taking board or advisory roles, as it did with ArgentumAI and FlexAI—and builds its brand through direct engagement with AI-native founders, including hosting the podcast Under The Banyan Tree.
