Damian

Damian Cristian is Managing Partner of Rule30, a London-based, AI-native venture fund that applies quantitative rigour to early-stage investing, running on a fully algorithmic decision engine with no human investment committee. He spent years building toward that model. He co-founded the venture builder Zero 1, then Koble, an AI platform that scored pre-seed and seed founders on data rather than pattern-matching, backed by Pitchdrive and Modus. Five years of building those data pipelines became the foundation Rule30 now invests off. The argument behind it is straightforward: most early-stage capital is allocated on intuition that does not survive scrutiny.
