FAQs

  • Conor Bronsdon is an operator and angel investor focused on AI, devtools, and B2B SaaS.

    In addition to his work in AI startups, Conor hosts the Chain of Thought Podcast, interviewing AI leaders around the world.

  • I typically write $5-10K checks in pre-seed to seed stage companies.

    I'm not leading rounds or setting terms - I move fast and follow strong leads.

  • I typically invest in AI companies where I can help with distribution or ICP fit.

    If your challenge is:

    • "How do we reach developers?" → I've done this at Galileo, LinearB, and now Modular

    • "How do we build a creator community?" → I created & host the Chain of Thought podcast, built Dev Interrupted to 20K+ members

    • "How do we position this for enterprise buyers?" → I've consulted for Microsoft's enterprise division and sold to enterprises around the world

    Sectors I focus on:

    • AI infrastructure & developer tools

    • Creator economy & content platforms

    • Enterprise AI applications

    • Developer-focused B2B products

    Less likely to be a fit:

    • Consumer apps (no GTM expertise)

    • Hardware (outside my domain)

    • Anything pre-product (too early for my help to matter)

    That said: The founders matter more than the sector. If you're exceptional and think I can help, reach out anyway.

  • I spend 2-3 hours/month helping founders with:

    • Developer positioning & messaging - Translating technical innovation into clear value props

    • Community-led growth - Building developer communities that drive adoption

    • Technical content - Creating content that reaches technical audiences

    • GTM strategy - Go-to-market approaches, particularly for infrastructure/dev tools

    I'm an operator first, investor second. If you just need capital, there are better options. If you need help reaching developers, growing your startup, or building a content strategy - let’s talk.

  • Yes. I'm actively deploying from my 2026 allocation and expect to make 5-10 investments this year.
