Fund V. $625M. Seed at Scale.
Primary backs founders building things the world hasn't seen yet â at the moment before others believe.
Today we announced our fifth fund. $625M for the next chapter in AI. For every founder who's betting everything on an idea the world hasnât seen yet.
This is what we were built for.

My conversation with @UbertiGavin
We discuss:
- what happens when models become multiples cheaper and faster
- why hardware is a bottleneck
- how data centers and semis will need to change
- why scale rules
Gavin is 21! The future is bright.
Enjoy!

i get asked this by LPs everyday: no, the seed market has not yet corrected â
reality: many seed founders still have '20-21 mindset, not baking in sufficient margin for error but plenty of $ available so prices remain elevated if not đ
a likely 'Series A crunch' awaits â°
