About Me

Poland-born Luke Nosek studied at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he met Max Levchin and Scott Banister and cofounded an early online advertising company. Nosek would team up again with Levchin, Peter Theil, and several other entrepreneurs to create online payments company PayPal in 1998. He would join Theil and Ken Howery to create Founders Fund in 2005. There he would back former PayPal colleagues like Elon Musk with one of the earliest checks into SpaceX, and David Sacks' Geni, which later spun out Yammer (acquired by Microsoft in June 2012 for $1.2 billion). Nosek left Founders Fund in 2017 to create his own venture fund, Gigafund, to back the "world's most transformative companies." The fund has since invested over $1 billion into SpaceX and several other Musk-founded companies like Neuralink and the Boring Company.
