About

Conviction Embed is the accelerator program run by Conviction, a venture firm founded in 2022 by Sarah Guo (former Greylock general partner) and joined in 2025 by second general partner Mike Vernal (former Sequoia partner). The program invests $250K on an uncapped, no-discount MFN SAFE — or at the same price as a round raised in the previous 60 days — into a cohort of 10 to 12 early founding teams. Conviction has become one of the most talked-about firms investing in AI, backing some of the buzziest companies in the space. The firm remains deliberately small, with about eight staff members.
