# Cherubic Ventures Closes $68.88M Fund VI — Early-Stage Vehicle, $500M+ AUM Claim

> Taipei/US solo-GP firm Cherubic Ventures closed Fund VI at $68.88 million on September 1, 2026 and said AUM across six funds has surpassed $500 million. Mandate is early AI-native companies. Named historical checks we already cover: Astranis and Flexport. No LP names. No Cherubic /fund/ page here.

**Cherubic Ventures** closed **Fund VI at $68.88 million** on **September 1, 2026**, and said assets under management across six funds have **surpassed $500 million** — a **small early-stage book**, not a growth vehicle. The 8s are cultural branding; the useful graph for this site is historical: Cherubic lists [Astranis](/startup/astranis) and [Flexport](/startup/flexport) among early checks. There is **no** Cherubic `/fund/` page here. Last verified **September 1, 2026**. Source: [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cherubic-ventures-closes-68-88-million-fund-vi-as-aum-surpasses-500-million-302865789.html).

## Five-minute decision

| If you need… | Verdict |
| --- | --- |
| What happened | **Fund closed.** $68.88M Fund VI. Solo GP Matt Cheng. |
| Mandate | Early AI-native: infra, developer tools, enterprise, healthcare, physical AI, robotics. |
| Proof on this site | [Astranis](/startup/astranis) $455M 2026 raise; [Flexport](/startup/flexport) Series E 2022. |
| Tracker next step | Do **not** expect a directory profile. Compare size to [Capital F $17M](/2026-capital-f-17m-debut-fund-female-economy), not to [a16z Growth $8.5B](/2026-a16z-8-5b-growth-fund). |

**Investigate further when:** you want a solo-GP first check with US/Taiwan coverage.

**Wait or pass when:** you need a $500M+ institutional vehicle, or you treat Sudo AI’s **~$2B** as a Tracker-verified mark.

## What closed

| Field | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Firm | Cherubic Ventures — founded 2015, Taipei origin, US presence. Solo GP Matt Cheng. |
| Vehicle | Fund VI · **$68.88M** · Sep 1, 2026 |
| AUM claim | **>$500M** across six funds (firm) |
| Prior | Fund V **$110M**, Aug 2022 (prior PR) |
| LP names | **Not disclosed** |
| Firm-named live bets | Sudo AI (**~$2B**, firm); Entire (**$60M** seed, firm — “largest seed for a developer-tools startup”); Patlytics; Max AI; Generation Lab; therapiAI |
| Historical names we cover | Hims & Hers (listed; no `/startup/` here), [Flexport](/startup/flexport), Calm (no page), Paidy (PayPal, firm), 91APP (listed, firm), [Astranis](/startup/astranis) |

The release says Fund VI companies have already raised **more than $500 million** in subsequent funding. That is **follow-on into the portfolio**, not Fund VI’s own size.

## Cherubic $68.88M vs a16z Growth $8.5B

| | Cherubic VI | [a16z Growth](/2026-a16z-8-5b-growth-fund) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Date | Sep 1, 2026 | Aug 31, 2026 |
| Amount | **$68.88M** new vehicle | **$8.5B** existing Growth fund total |
| Job | Day-one / early AI-native | Scale already-winning companies |
| Directory | **No** | [Yes](/fund/andreessen-horowitz) |

Do **not** add them. They answer different founder questions.

## What remains undisclosed

LP names and check-size policy are **not in the release**. Cherubic’s **~$2B** Sudo AI claim and Entire’s **$60M** seed are firm marketing about companies **without** Tracker pages — treat them as unverified here. Do not treat **$500M AUM** as Fund VI’s size or invent a Cherubic `/fund/` page.
