​Carya VC is a pre-seed and seed-stage venture firm focused exclusively on transformational AI. Since launching Fund I in 2022, Carya has delivered a >40% IRR with investments in Crescendo, Martian, and Retell AI—including two successful acquisitions. Fund II builds on this momentum, targeting AI infrastructure and applications, supported by advisors such as Gokul Rajaram, Jose Fuentes (co-founder of Duolingo), and Ram Gupta, with a public enterprise anchor of 500k+ employees. Carya was built to be the VC we wished we had when founding companies like Observe.AI (unicorn) and Sanas.ai (soonicorn).
