EDITOR BRIEF
Justin Ernest built Sabertooth VC around a captive network of limited partners rather than spending a year raising a conventional venture fund. That structure let him deploy nearly $400M into high-demand startups including Anthropic, Anduril, and SpaceX.
COMMENTARY
The approach reflects a broader shift toward more flexible venture models as investors seek faster access to competitive private deals. If successful, captive LP networks could pressure traditional funds by offering founders and backers a leaner alternative to standard fund cycles.
