About Christian Dorffer
Founding General Partner of Defiance Capital, an early stage fund specialised in helping extraordinary non-obvious founders disrupt industries using AI. I previously co-founded Mindshapes (a gaming company backed by Index Ventures), Masters (a holistic training app backed by Mucker) and Midnight Runners (the world’s largest urban running community). I’ve been a full time investor for a decade. I set up and ran Sweet Capital (the King.com founders fund) as CEO and Chairman from 2015 to 2022. I've made 75 early stage investments to date.
