shuckerVC invests in B2B software startups alongside leading venture capital firms. Based in Silicon Valley, we provide hands-on operational support, enabling founders to focus on product and customers. We are industry and technology agnostic and prefer technical founders targeting markets ripe for digital transformation. Our unique support model secures our place in oversubscribed funding rounds alongside top lead investors. After we invest in a company, we dedicate a full-time Support Partner to manage back-office functions. This allows founders to focus on building their product and serving customers without juggling multiple roles. We believe—and our co-investors and portfolio founders agree—that focused founders build the strongest companies.

Arcana Analytics is an organisation ran by six people specialised in different fields relating to the startup world. We see content creators as strong and efficient alternatives to traditional marketing and also as a way of people expressing themselves artistically. We work in order to provide these creators with the knowledge, material and contacts to make it in the entertainment industry. By investing time and resources on artists, gamers, reviewers and musicians we create a community of creators that are aware of the value of their content.

Arcana enables institutional investors to understand their portfolio risks, decompose single stock & book performance, drill into crowding, and isolate their idiosyncratic differentiation. Built on our proprietary crowding, ownership, factor risk, and performance datasets. The company’s seed round was led by Duquesne (Stan Druckenmiller), Tiger Global, Abstract Ventures, GoldenTree Asset Management, Ryan Roslansky (CEO LinkedIn), Akshay Kothari (COO Notion), and many other strategic angels.

Coda started in 2014 with a simple observation: In a world full of pre-built tools and applications, why do documents and spreadsheets seem to run the world? The founding Coda team crossed paths at Google, YouTube, and Microsoft, where they saw their teams stretch the limits of what spreadsheets and documents can do. Then in 2014, they banded together to build the doc they always wanted. One that erased the boundaries between words and data. And where everyone could work together, in their own way, off the same data. Coda. Its a new day for docs. Learn more at https://coda.io.
