About
Newfund is an entrepreneurial VC firm dedicated to financing seed-stage startups that are driving global change.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We are a first check fund, so we are often the first institutional capital. We begin by writing $250k to $2M checks in pre-seed and seed rounds and can follow on in subsequent rounds. We look for founders with global ambition and skin in the game. Similarly, our GPs are the main investors in our own funds. We play the same game as our founders. We move fast and constantly aim to streamline our investment process to increase velocity. The less time you spend raising, the more you can dedicate to building. This is what creates value for everyone.Source (opens in a new tab)
