Written insights from the recorded portfolio, with the evidence linked below.
Naval Ravikant has dated investments in 139 companies. 84 first entries were at Angel, Pre-Seed or Seed (60.4%). An early-stage founder can use the sector and stage filters to find comparable companies before approaching the investor.
Explore the evidence ↗7 first company relationships appear in the latest 24 months, compared with 25 in the preceding window. The latest recorded investment is 2025-12-05. This describes observed activity through 2026-05-22; it does not establish current availability.
Explore the evidence ↗70 of 132 companies with a full 24-month observation window raised another equity round. This investor backed 11 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 ↗FinTech is the largest displayed sector by company count, appearing in 34 portfolio companies; sector tags overlap. 6 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.
