A few months ago, I had the privilege of being on stage at Crane Festival with Kenneth Stanley, an AI researcher and co-author of Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned. We talked about one of his more provocative ideas: the stepping stones that lead to something extraordinary often look nothing like the eventual destination.
When Krishna Visvanathan and I started Crane Venture Partners in 2015, we didn't set out to build a global investment platform. But we kept following one stepping stone to another, which led us to now. We recently announced that we raised $484 million across multiple investment vehicles, giving us considerably more capital to invest from inception to Seed globally, including in Europe, the United States, India, and the Asia-Pacific region.
