About Dustin Moskovitz
Dustin Moskovitz is based in San Francisco. He co-founded Facebook, where Crunchbase lists him as CTO and VP of Engineering. In 2008 he co-founded the work management company Asana with Justin Rosenstein. He ran Asana as CEO for about 15 years.
Asana named Dan Rogers CEO effective July 21, 2025. Moskovitz stayed on as board chair, where he contributes to product vision, strategy and Asana's AI initiatives. In 2011 he and his wife, Cari Tuna, founded the philanthropy Good Ventures. Good Ventures is the main partner of Open Philanthropy, now called Coefficient Giving, which lists potential risks from advanced AI as a focus area.
Data providers list Moskovitz as an active individual investor in San Francisco. Counts differ by source: Crunchbase shows 19 personal investments, PitchBook shows 20, and Tracxn shows 8 portfolio companies. Reported investments include Anthropic, Vicarious, Helion, Malta, Form Energy and Ema. Several of the energy investments are in the physical sciences, not software.
Anthropic announced its $124M Series A on May 28, 2021. Jaan Tallinn led the round. PitchBook and Dealroom list Moskovitz among the participants, alongside James McClave, the Center for Emerging Risk Research and Eric Schmidt.
Tracxn lists a seed investment in the enterprise AI company Ema in March 2024, in a $25M round with Accel and others. Crunchbase lists Vicarious, an AI company, as a Series B investment.
Separately from his personal investing, Good Ventures gave $30M to OpenAI over three years starting in 2017, according to CNBC. Open Philanthropy has also recommended grants for AI safety research at the National Science Foundation and UC Berkeley. These were grants, not equity investments.
The public record shows he invests across stages, from seed (Ema) to growth rounds (Form Energy Series G). His reported investments are in AI, enterprise software and energy technology, and Tracxn lists all of them in the United States. Moskovitz has not publicly stated a check size or a pitch process that we found, so we do not list one. Founders should not assume he takes cold pitches.
