Hi, I'm Greg Raiz 👋

Entrepreneur, builder, and GP at FoundersEdge — a pre-seed VC firm that bets on founders who've been in the arena before.

I've founded, scaled, and sold companies. Now I help others do the same.

🔨 Currently Hacking On

• FoundersEdge AI tools — building AI-assisted deal sourcing and founder evaluation pipelines
• Chief of Staff AI — personal AI agent for VC workflow automation (Claude + Airtable + Attio)
• ESP32 Pixelboard - what do you get when you combine a retro 16x16 display with an ESP32
• Personal Blog - GregRaiz.com - a personal blog with ideas and writing
• HalfIdeas — short-form content exploring half-baked ideas in AI and product

What are you building? I'm always interested in what founders are working on — reach out.
