Justin Ernest has invested nearly $400 million into 10 high-profile companies, including Anthropic, Anduril, and SpaceX, without launching a traditional VC fund.
Ernest used his network to secure allocations of stock in these companies and offers individual deals to a group of smaller institutional investors using special purpose vehicles (SPVs).
His firm, Sabertooth VC, has gained significant chunks of shares in these companies, with checks ranging from $10 million to $275 million, and has earned a solid reputation among family offices.
