Ashton Kutcher is leaving Sound Ventures, the venture capital firm he co-founded about 11 years ago with Guy Oseary, to start a new VC firm with Morgan Beller, according to reporting from TechCrunch and The Next Web. Beller is described as previously having been a general partner at NFX. The new firm is set to focus on early-stage investing, with the reported emphasis on areas including AI infrastructure, energy, and deep tech. Across the sources, there is agreement that Kutcher and Beller are forming the new partnership and that the strategy centers on backing early companies in these technology categories. The articles also align on the reason for the change in affiliation: Kutcher is exiting Sound Ventures in order to launch the new venture firm. Beyond the announced focus areas and Beller’s prior role at NFX, the sources provide limited additional details about the new firm’s structure, fund size, or timeline for operations.
