XYZ partners Ross Fubini , Chauncey Hamilton, Art Clarke and Camille Ricketts with partner and marketing lead Steve Hilk, CFO JeanClaude Doursainvil, and staffers Lucy Wilmot, Angie Kirk, Christine Hubbard, Mackenzie Bohannon, Alyssa Kelley and Alexa Romanoff.Midas Seed staple Ross Fubini and his firm have raised $325 million in two new funds and added partners Camille Ricketts and Art Clarke from Notion and Apple.
So when XYZ — now bigger, with a growing team and hundreds of millions in assets — offered to pour more money in, it wasn’t a difficult choice. XYZ led Chapter’s $50 million round in May at a valuation of more than $500 million, according to startup data tracker PitchBook. “Ross doesn’t follow the prevailing winds of VC or the zeitgeist,” Blumenfeld-Gantz said. “He doesn’t view himself as being above doing the hard grunt work.
Fubini was working as an engineering director when he made the introduction that would define his career. A native of northern Virginia who had caught the startup bug at dotcom era startups, Fubini was at Symantec by 2006, when he connected a former employee to another friend who had just joined a new startup launched by CEO Alex Karp, Thiel and others, Palantir.
“There aren’t actually a lot of VCs that are former operators,” said Schimpf. “That’s something Ross does uniquely well: he has experience actually running things, to be able to plug in useful advice.” Added fellow Midas Seed List investor Chad Byers, another Chapter investor: “For me, XYZ is Ross’s personality embodied in a firm: curious, relentless and techno optimist.”
