Guo’s Conviction Partners adds Mike Vernal as GP, raises $230M fund

Quick Summary:

When in mid-2022 Sarah Guo left Greylock to launch her own AI-focused fund, Conviction Partners, she indicated that she was tagging the word "Partners” to the firm’s name because she would eventually bring on other GPs.

Meanwhile, Vernal, who spent nearly seven years at Sequoia — and the previous eight years at Facebook as a VP of product and engineering — has himself led deals in numerous high-fliers, including Notion, Rippling, and Verkada, a security camera startup that’s reportedly raising funding at a $4.5 billion valuation.

Guo also co-hosts a popular AI podcast, “No Priors,” with star investor Elad Gil.
