About

Propel Venture Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm backing the builders of the new economy. Money is central to how people and companies live, work, and interact with each other, and that relationship is changing. We back the entrepreneurs redefining it. Since 2016, we've invested in over 70 companies and raised over $436 million across five funds.
