About

Founder Collective is a seed and pre-seed stage venture capital firm that describes itself as sector-agnostic and "proudly anti-thematic." The firm invests at the earliest stages and partners with entrepreneurs from idea to IPO, both leading and participating in rounds without rigid ownership targets. It has offices in Cambridge, MA and New York, NY, and has backed companies such as Uber, The Trade Desk, WHOOP, and Shield AI.

Investment approach

Thesis
We’re stage-focused (seed and pre-seed), sector agnostic, and proudly anti-thematic. We lead and participate, and we don’t have rigid ownership targets.Source (opens in a new tab)
