Co-Founder & General Partner at Hustle Fund · Joined 2017
View Live Interactive Profile →Eric Bahn built real operating experience as an early employee at Ticketfly and as founder of Boardlist before co-founding Hustle Fund in 2017 with his longtime friend and Stanford-era colleague Elizabeth Yin, alongside Shiyan Koh. Bahn combines that founder background with a genuinely quantitative, high-volume investing approach - Hustle Fund invests in roughly 250 companies per fund, a strategy some critics call 'spray and pray' but which Bahn defends as the right response to the extreme uncertainty and thin data available at the pre-seed stage. He has helped build Hustle Fund's Angel Squad program, which democratizes access to startup investing by letting individuals write checks as small as $1,000 into deals from the firm's pipeline, and continues to champion backing solo founders and underrepresented entrepreneurs that traditional VC wisdom often passes over.
