Consumer AI Venture Funds

Bryan Kim Has Launched $100M Fund Mido Capital

Bryan Kim, a former Andreessen Horowitz partner, is launching Mido Capital, a new venture firm focused on early-stage consumer AI startups. Kim is reportedly raising approximately $100 million for the fund, which will target companies developing AI-powered products for everyday users.

During his time at Andreessen Horowitz, Kim worked with the firm’s consumer and AI applications teams and backed companies including voice AI startup ElevenLabs. Mido Capital is expected to focus on startups building differentiated AI products rather than competing directly with the industry’s largest platform companies, drawing on Kim’s experience investing across consumer technology, health, social apps and mental wellness.

For founders, the fund represents another source of specialized capital for consumer-facing AI products. Its launch reflects growing investor interest in application-layer startups that translate advances in AI models into practical products for mainstream users.
