Rule30 is an AI research lab building an early-stage VC fund. Damian Cristian and Guy Conway spent five years developing a proprietary decision engine, trained on 80,000+ startups, that algorithmically sources and evaluates deals with no human in the loop. Rule30’s approach removes fundamental constraints, enabling larger, more diversified portfolios that are statistically optimized for maximum returns.
