Elad Gil has dated investments in 123 companies. 45 first entries were at Angel, Pre-Seed or Seed (36.6%). An early-stage founder can use the sector and stage filters to find comparable companies before approaching the investor.
Explore the evidence ↗17 first company relationships appear in the latest 24 months, compared with 28 in the preceding window. The latest recorded investment is 2026-05-11. This describes observed activity through 2026-05-22; it does not establish current availability.
Explore the evidence ↗65 of 106 companies with a full 24-month observation window raised another equity round. This investor backed 20 of those companies again within that window. The difference is a reason to research the wider syndicate, rather than assume the same investor will fund the next round.
Explore the evidence ↗Artificial Intelligence is the largest displayed sector by company count, appearing in 31 portfolio companies; sector tags overlap. 13 first entries carry a recorded lead flag and the median first-round syndicate includes 7 other named backers. Shared rounds are evidence of co-investment, not evidence of an introduction route.
