Executive Summary
Square Peg presents its Half Year 2025 update, detailing the rapid scaling of its AI-native investments which now comprise 67% of new capital allocations. The letter outlines eight core heuristics for evaluating founders in the AI age, emphasizing the expansion of TAM as software displaces wages, the threat of rapid incumbent obsolescence, and the inevitable shift of web traffic from humans to chatbots. Square Peg also highlights its internal adoption of AI, boosting sourcing efficiency sixfold. Despite temporary public market volatility in April following US tariff announcements, the firm remains focused on compounding private assets, highlighting emerging portfolio winners (Vi, Talon.One, Aidoc, Zeller, Neara, Exodigo, Supabase) and progressing fundraises for its 2025 Vintage funds.
