New Age Capital

Investment approach

Thesis

There are so many existing problems in the world that could and should be solved leveraging technology and AI and the cost to build and operate a startup is collapsing. AI now handles elements of product development, operations, branding, and go-to-market that previously required entire departments. The founders who win in the AI era will combine technical leverage with deep interpersonal skills, contextual domain expertise, and scalable distribution strategies. That combination is rare. When we find it, we back it.Source (opens in a new tab)

Leads rounds

Yes

Lead policy

Yes, we prefer to lead rounds and can make introductions to co-investors. We require that founders raise at least $3M, inclusive of our investment.

Takes board seats

No

Board policy

We do not take board seats, but we do behave as a de facto board and require monthly calls and reporting once we invest in a company.

Eligibility

We lead rounds at the seed stage in companies with a product in market and at least $500K in revenue generated. Capital efficiency is a hard criterion — companies we back have typically raised less than $500K before our check. We back founders leveraging deep domain expertise and a strong go-to market thesis who are building AI-native software and tech-enabled products in any industry excluding fashion/fashion tech, media, crypto/web3, or medical device companies. We only invest in companies that are located in the United States and have C-Corp status.

Traction requirement

We lead rounds at the seed stage in companies with a product in market and at least $500K in revenue generated.

Investing status notes

We source and invest at the early stage in bootstrapped, high-growth companies building the future through AI-native software and tech-enabled products.
