About
Primary says it is a seed-stage venture firm founded in 2015 by Brad Svrluga and Ben Sun. Its approach page lists HQ NYC and a stage of inception to seed. It says the firm has five sets of funds and $1.6 billion under management. This page uses New York for that headquarters.
The firm co-led Forgepoint's $9.8 million seed round with a16z speedrun, announced on 2026-10-14.
The approach page also lists a current fund of $625 million. The Raise Track Update does not use that figure, so it is not shown as part of the bio.
This page is not indexed by search engines yet. It is promoted once it meets the quality gate for investor pages: a description from the firm's own website, a headquarters city and at least two two-sourced rounds on this site.
