About Taylor Clauson

Taylor Clauson taught himself to code while working in venture capital, then built Abstraction Capital as a solo fund focused exclusively on the "plumbing behind software"—developer tools, devops, and infrastructure—despite not being a professional engineer himself. Operating from Kansas City rather than a coastal hub, he runs a one-man global fund that writes pre-seed and seed checks into highly technical developer-product companies, drawing on an unusual background that includes state-backed tech investing, scaling a cleantech startup to millions in revenue, and IoT/data investing before founding his own firm.
