About Natalie Vais
Sunil Dhaliwal founded Amplify Partners in 2012 as one of the earliest solo-GP, deeply technical, sector-focused VC firms, designing it as a durable platform rather than a one-off vehicle, and has spent over 25 years backing category-defining infrastructure companies like Splunk, Datadog, and Fastly across multiple market cycles. He systematically backs domain experts building in hard computer-science areas by evaluating founders through their intimate experience with technical problems, and unusually focuses on AI-powered robotics that reshape the physical economy through companies like Covariant in logistics and Iron Ox in agriculture.
