About Hyperplane Venture Capital
Hyperplane Venture Capital is an early-stage firm founded in 2015 that leads first checks into technically intense teams applying artificial intelligence to the physical world. Its stated posture is to back people with the bold vision to build tomorrow's game-changing companies, even if they might seem a little crazy today, and the firm markets that plainly as writing the first check, before consensus. It invests at seed and follows into Series A and later rounds, concentrating on AI and robotics.
The distinguishing choice is where Hyperplane points the AI thesis. Rather than competing at the application layer, it underwrites companies where models meet workflows, infrastructure and physical operations, domains where the engineering risk is real and the incumbent workflow is legible. The portfolio reflects that. Pickle Robot builds physical AI for supply-chain automation. Modulate runs a voice intelligence platform. Autolane builds an autonomous vehicle operating system. Flume Fabric operates a distributed inference network. Integrate builds AI-native project management for secure environments. ShipIn applies AI to maritime operations, Greeneye Technologies works in agricultural technology, and LinkSquares handles contract lifecycle management.
The firm has raised four flagship funds, the most recent filed in October 2024 with a $100 million target, and runs separate opportunity and single-company vehicles for concentrated follow-ons. Its four stated principles, conviction over consensus, respect the journey, humility, and generous by default, describe the operating requirement of a genuine first-check strategy in deep technology: the firm has to be willing to be the only institutional name on a cap table for a full round or two.

Fund History
- Hyperplane's funds are filed from Massachusetts by co-founders Vivjan Myrto and John Murphy.
- Hyperplane II, LP filed in November 2016 with a $45 million offering, naming Myrto, Murphy and John Klinck.
- Hyperplane III, LP filed in December 2019 with a $100 million offering and the same three principals alongside Hyperplane III GP, LLC. Hyperplane IV, LP was organized in 2024 and filed that October, again targeting $100 million, with Myrto and Murphy named.
- The debut fund predates the EDGAR record under the Hyperplane name.
- Two further vehicles sit beside the flagships: Hyperplane (SPV-V), L.P., filed in 2018, and Hyperplane Opportunities I, LP, filed in 2021, giving the firm concentrated follow-on capacity outside the main funds.
- The strategy has held since 2015, which the firm states as its founding year: lead the first institutional check, before consensus, into technically intense teams applying artificial intelligence to workflows, infrastructure and physical operations.

A Form D is the notice a fund files with the SEC when it raises money in a private offering. Feeder funds, parallel funds and SPVs each file their own, so the count measures filing activity, not the number of flagship funds.
