Summary

Jake Paul and Jeff Lowe discuss Anti Fund's $100M+ growth fund strategy, including a barbell approach, late-stage positions in SpaceX and xAI, and an AI-maxis view across models, inference, and semiconductors. They also talk about fusion via Helion, the shift toward defense, robotics, manufacturing, and bio cross AI, and why they prefer tech over celebrity and CPG brands. The conversation also covers Most Valuable Promotions, women's boxing, streaming-era boxing, and humanoid robots versus traditional sports.

  • Anti Fund raised over $100M with lead investor Aquarian Holdings and roughly 10%+ GP commitment.
  • The fund uses a barbell strategy: large late-stage checks into founder-led companies like SpaceX and xAI plus early-stage venture.
  • Jake Paul says Anti Fund is AI-maxis, investing across OpenAI, inference providers, semiconductors, and Etched's inference ASIC.
  • They invested in Helion fusion and see the next wave shifting toward defense tech, robotics, manufacturing, and bio cross AI.
  • They are less excited about celebrity brands and CPG and see more upside in tech and software.
  • Jake Paul discusses Most Valuable Promotions' niche in women's boxing and boxing's move to streaming distribution.
  • He argues traditional human sports have a stronger business model than robot or enhanced sports.
Ideas

Back top founder-led late-stage companies.
Anti Fund is using a barbell approach, putting larger checks into growth-stage companies run by top founders. They do not want to bet against Palmer Luckey, Elon Musk, or Sam Altman, and they have invested in SpaceX and xAI because those rounds can provide faster DPI and liquidity.

AI stack from models to chips.
They are AI maxis and are positioned across the AI stack, starting with OpenAI and moving down through inference providers and semiconductors, including Etched's inference ASIC. They believe the software game will be won by OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, and maybe Cognition, and that massive compute and model scaling are concentrating value in these layers.

Fusion energy investment via Helion.
Anti Fund just invested in Helion, a fusion company, positioning it as part of the physical-world and energy bet behind AI and frontier technology.

Next wave is physical-world sectors.
They see value creation moving from pure software toward atoms, with defense tech, robotics, and manufacturing becoming increasingly important as the next wave of frontier technology.

Bio plus AI is next wave.
Bio cross AI is still very early, with no obvious winners yet according to Sam Altman, and they see it as one of the next-wave opportunities alongside robotics and hardware.

Avoid celebrity CPG, prefer tech software.
They are not excited about celebrity brands or CPG unless it is Kardashian-level; they see far more upside in tech and software and prefer to spend their time there as fiduciaries.
