The early-stage venture capital firm took a unique take on the industry by spearheading public relations for its portfolio companies. Through Fund I ($20 million) and Fund II ($50 million), the Silicon Valley firm’s portfolio has had 22 exits, including an IPO with Terran Orbital. It also has backed eight unicorns, including Superhuman, Remote, Worldcoin, Truebill (which exited to Rocket Companies in 2021) and DuckDuckGo. “When we connected, he was already the founder of three unicorns, which was quite surprising,” Bucher told TechCrunch. A year later, Bucher exited M&A PR Studio and started Day One Ventures.
