Andrew Smyth is joining Hedosophia as partner after just over a year at M12.
Andrew Smyth has left M12, Microsoft’s VC arm, to join VC firm Hedosophia as partner.
Smyth was a managing partner at M12 for a year-and-a-half, during which time he was involved in the unit’s investments in AI-adjacent companies such as database architecture developer Neon, site reliability developer Neubird.ai, and diffusion large language model technology company Inception Labs.
Smyth spent nearly a decade as partner at Atlantic Bridge, where he mainly focused on software investments. He also served two years in an investment banking role at Arma Partners.
M12 brought in Peter Lenke, the former head of Atlassian Ventures, in August as managing partner to focus on investments in AI, enterprise and the application layer.
