Litquidity started in 2017. Its founder, Hank Medina, is named as founder on litvc.com and as the person who launched the original Instagram account. Litquidity Capital LLC has been an exempt reporting adviser with the SEC since September 2021 and manages the pooled venture vehicles. Litquidity Media LLC is a separate legal entity that runs the social channels and newsletter. The firm's site lists Zachary Kay, Colton Cray and Dustin Zhang as partners. Team listings change, so check litvc.com for the current roster before pitching. In a 2024 letter, Medina described moving from angel investor to Bain Capital Ventures scout, syndicate lead and VC fund manager.
AI is one of several themes. The firm's X profile says it invests primarily in fintech, AI, defense and other frontier technologies. litvc.com lists fintech, enterprise software, consumer and e-commerce as core areas and says it is open to other sectors. Its AI investments are mostly applied companies, such as AI for lending, wealth management and legal teams. In 2024 it also took part in late-stage secondary rounds, which the 2024 year-end letter says included OpenAI. It pitches its media reach and community as an advantage in getting access to rounds. Its Lounge deals desk lists two recent AI rounds: Meridian (Seed, $17M, February 2026) and North.cloud (Series B, $60M, October 2026). We could not confirm the firm's role in either round from public sources.
The firm's site says it invests at Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A, with selective later-stage investments in private companies. Check sizes are not public. On the capital side, the 2024 letter says the firm deployed about $10 million that year, through SPVs, LVP Fund I and Bain Capital Ventures scout checks.
