Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund closed a new $6B late-stage fund, its largest ever. $4.5B came from LPs, including sovereign wealth funds, while $1.5B was committed by Thiel, partners, and employees.

The fund will focus on AI, defense tech, and deep tech, with deployment planned across roughly a dozen companies over 2–3 years, using large late-stage checks rather than broad portfolio allocation.

Its previous $4.6B fund backed just 7 companies, including $1.25B into Anthropic and $1B into Anduril, highlighting the firm’s strategy of concentrated billion-dollar positions.
