Nice try but really those opportunities tend to be taken up by venture arms of existing companies + offshoot funds of people who came from those backgrounds.

If you’re trying to get an allocation, tough luck to you making money because without a deep technical knowledge, you’d end up being a sucker.
 

When in doubt, use more peanut butter
 

Not sure who focuses on AI-specific hardtech. I'd look at Matter Ventures, Playground Ventures, and, NVentures to name a few. Probably going to be hard to hire from them. You're better off finding someone that's got a hard-tech background from the industry and bring them on as a principal. 

 

Engineer here – that sht is extremely difficult. You really need to be neurodivergent to understand ai in hardware.

Regarding your q OP, sorry, don’t know much about that
