Our founders vouch for us

Our Founders. Our Partners.

“They didn’t just write the first check — they helped us close the round, ship v1, and land our first customer. Best partners we’ve had.”

Greg Morin

“They believed in our robotics company before we had anything on paper. That early conviction changed everything.”

Ava Zhang

“Most VCs talk about founder support. VentureCapital actually shows up. Every week. Every problem. Every inflection point.”

Samir Qureshi

“They don’t overstep — they amplify. Smart, founder-aligned, and technically fluent.”

Lily Johnson

When other funds asked for updates, VentureCapital helped us debug the roadmap. That’s rare.

Questions we get asked the most

Answers to questions we get asked the most.

What stage do you typically invest at?

We primarily invest at the pre-seed and seed stages. We like to be among the first institutional partners to commit when you’re building your first product, winning your first customers, or scaling your first real traction.

How much do you invest in each company?

We write checks between $100K and $2M, depending on the round size, the company’s needs, and our conviction level. We can lead, co-lead, or follow in rounds where we add strategic value.

What kinds of companies do you back?

We invest in startups at the frontier of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Autonomous Systems, and the Future of Work. Founders solving hard technical problems, creating new categories, or reshaping how humans and machines interact excite us the most.

Do I need a warm intro to pitch you?

No. We welcome cold pitches. If you’re building something ambitious and thoughtful, we care about the idea, not how we met. Submit your deck [here →] or send us a short note about what you’re building.

How quickly do you make investment decisions?

We move fast. For the right opportunity, we can go from first meeting to signed term sheet in as little as two weeks. We respect founders’ time and give clear yes/no decisions whenever possible.

Beyond capital, how do you support your portfolio companies?

We help founders with early hiring, strategic product feedback, customer and partner introductions, fundraising preparation, and tactical operating guidance. We act like an extension of your team — especially when you’re moving fast and solving hard problems.
