Bruno Faviero

I've spent a decade building and investing in AI, hardware, defense, and crypto.

I'm the Co-founder & CEO of Magna — token infrastructure for crypto teams, now powered by Kraken. Before Magna, I was a PM on Palantir's largest product team (Gaia) and AI Platform — a role I landed after Palantir acquired my first company, Synapse Technology, where I built AI computer vision for airport security. Before that I was an early engineer at Kensho (acquired by S&P Global), building NLP tools for financial analysis. I also co-founded Kolena, an ML testing platform for enterprise. I'm a YC W22 alum.

On the investing side, I'm GP at Alloy Fund, backing early-stage technical founders in AI, crypto, defense, and deep tech. Portfolio includes Alpen, Baselayer, Nitra, Vellum, and Monad. I'm an angel in 40+ companies — including Apex Space, Railway, Helius, Vise, and Astroforge — and an LP in Backend Capital, SF1, and Weekend Fund. MIT CS, class of 2015. Also: theater, journalism, sailing. Based in Miami. 🇺🇸🇧🇷
