Profile

Dream Machine is a seed fund based in San Francisco, founded in 2018 by Alexia Bonatsos, who previously served as co-editor-in-chief of TechCrunch. The firm is unique in its approach, being run by a single investor, which allows for a focused and personalized investment strategy. Dream Machine is designed to support founders at the intersection of consumer behavior and frontier technology, emphasizing a deep conviction in the people behind the ideas. The firm invests primarily in the consumer sector, with a focus on areas such as social, creator, identity, audio, gaming, and commerce. Dream Machine typically participates in pre-seed and seed stages, with check sizes ranging from $250K to $500K. The fund is intentionally small, allowing for careful and deliberate investment decisions. Notable investments include Clubhouse - social audio platform, Weekend - lifestyle brand, Airbuds - wireless earbuds, Fable - storytelling platform, and Locket - photo-sharing app. Dream Machine aims to back innovative founders and help turn their visions into reality.
