Background

Vic Hu is the co-founder and engineering lead of Brev, a San Francisco / Seattle-area AI startup that raised a $3.3M pre-seed round in April 2026 led by Resolute Ventures, with participation from shuckerVC, Duro VC, Gaingels, and FOG Ventures 12. He founded the company with Chris Pitchford and is responsible for engineering — “leading engineering efforts to leverage AI for enhancing business outcomes” 3.

Before Brev, Hu was an engineering manager at Indeed, a Senior Software Engineer at Meta (backend engineering for augmented reality), a Staff Software Engineer at Iterative Health (leading the ML Annotation team), and a Senior Software Engineer at Panopto where he led feature integrations and engineering teams 3. He has also held earlier roles at IBM and previously founded a project called Dediced 3.

He holds an MS in Software Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and a BS in Electrical Engineering and Physics from Rice University 3. He is based in the Seattle area (Redmond, WA) 3.

Disambiguation note: This profile covers Vic Hu of Brev.io / brev.com (the AI business-operations startup co-founded with Chris Pitchford). It is NOT the same as Brev.dev, an unrelated GPU/AI cloud platform founded by Nader Khalil and Alec Fong that was acquired by NVIDIA in August 2024 4. The two companies share a similar name but have no overlapping founders or operations.

Stated Thesis

Hu does not publish a formal investing thesis. He is an operator at this stage of his career, focused on building Brev. His public-facing positioning is as an engineering leader applying AI to business operations and reporting workflows 3. No personal blog, podcast appearances, or interview transcripts surfaced in public search as of May 2026.

Inferred Thesis

No verified angel investments could be identified through public sources as of May 2026. Hu’s LinkedIn, The Org profile, and aggregator pages do not surface any individual angel checks under his name 35. Until verified investments appear in primary press, this profile should be read as an operator profile rather than an active investor profile.

To the extent he is approachable as an angel or advisor, his operating background — applied ML at Iterative Health, AR backend at Meta, video/integration engineering at Panopto, and search/marketplace engineering at Indeed 3 — points toward applied AI/ML infrastructure, enterprise SaaS, and developer/integration tooling as the areas where his expertise would be most directly applicable.

Portfolio

No publicly verified angel investments found as of May 2026.
