Soma Capital (@somacapital) and Aneel Ranadive (@aneelr) have built one of the most prolific early-stage track records in venture, seeding 50+ unicorns over the last decade by backing founders years before their companies became obvious.

The portfolio tells the story.

Kalshi: ~$10M → ~$40B
Deel: ~$10M → ~$17.3B
Ramp: ~$40M → ~$44B
Razorpay: ~$8M → ~$7.5B
Mercor: ~$40M → ~$20B
Cognition: ~$100M → ~$40B
Etched: ~$34M → ~$21B

And that is only part of the list.

Across fintech, AI, enterprise software, robotics, aerospace, and infrastructure, Soma has repeatedly found companies at the earliest stages that went on to compound by hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of times in valuation.

The common denominator is not sector. It is early conviction.

Venture is a power-law business. One extraordinary company can return a fund, but consistently finding them before consensus forms requires a fundamentally different level of founder judgment, pattern recognition, and willingness to be early.

Mercor, an AI training startup, is reportedly in early discussions to raise a new funding round at a $20 billion valuation. The potential valuation would double the company’s $10 billion valuation from October 2025, when it raised a $350 million Series C round. Founder and CEO Brendan Foody recently stated that Mercor’s annualized revenue run rate has surpassed $2 billion, representing 100% growth in just four months. The company also announced the acquisition of Deeptune, an AI agent training firm, with the entire Deeptune team joining Mercor. The strong revenue growth, acquisition activity, and prospective funding round suggest Mercor is continuing to expand despite challenges earlier this year, including a data breach and legal disputes involving contract workers.

FOUNDER: Brendan Foody

AMOUNT: $20,000,000,000
