Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian LLP is an international law firm serving technology and life-sciences companies and venture and growth investors. Founded in 1995, it advises on company formation, venture financing, mergers and acquisitions, public offerings, fund formation, licensing and data privacy. Its AI and machine-learning practice supports developers and investors, and its innovation team developed ChatGD and the 2025 ChatGD+ legal workflow platform. The current public professional directory lists 386 lawyers and business leaders, including emeritus and advisory affiliations; this is not an exhaustive employee census. Transaction representation alone is not an investment. Separately, Fundamental Research Labs, formerly Altera.AL, explicitly named Gunderson Dettmer as a participant in its January 2024 USD2M preseed financing. No external managed investment fund or closed fund size is verified.
