Biography

Arjun Sethi built his early venture career as a Partner at Social Capital before co-founding Tribe Capital in July 2018 with fellow Social Capital alumni Jonathan Hsu and Ted Maidenberg, applying Hsu's data-science background to a genuinely quantitative approach to venture investing. The firm's model blends rigorous data-driven diligence with deep founder relationships, backing enduring companies across enterprise SaaS, fintech, and crypto rather than chasing hype cycles, and Sethi has helped grow Tribe into a firm managing $1.9 billion, including a 2021 SPAC that went public on NASDAQ with $240 million in capital. Tribe's model reflects a broader wave of former Social Capital partners building independent, data-native venture platforms after Chamath Palihapitiya restructured that firm in 2018.
