Diffusion is a venture capital firm co-founded by Kris Fredrickson (a former partner at Coatue Management and longtime backer of prominent tech startups) alongside Victor Lazarte. Diffusion is structured to back early- and growth-stage companies, with a heavy emphasis on high-impact technology and artificial intelligence enterprises. Despite being a newly established fund, Diffusion has already participated in major high-stakes rounds. Notably, it co-led a massive $550 million funding round alongside Lightspeed Venture Partners for the legal-AI unicorn Harvey, pushing the valuation to $15.6 billion. Diffusion was also noted for backing major early rounds, such as participating in seed rounds (like Decades $85 million seed financing).
