Ali Partovi has long wielded outsized influence despite limited name recognition in Silicon Valley .

His eight-year-old venture firm Neo focuses on identifying exceptional individuals rather than betting on specific themes or teams.

Partovi: " This year , for the first time, I can conclusively say that we are discovering the future superstars before anyone else".

Partovi: "I ask myself, if [this individual] started something, how likely would their smartest friends be to join them?” Partovi is cautious about discussing unrealized returns when prodded, but Neo ’s early funds are performing exceedingly well.

The first fund is already between three and four times its value, with “potential room for it to double or triple again”.
