Present

The Fund (http://thefund.vc) is a community of founders & operators who care deeply about supporting the next generation of local entrepreneurs.

Together, we’ve pooled our capital, networks, and expertise to help grow local ecosystems in a radically new way. We invest in technology companies at their earliest stages, usually pre-seed and seed rounds. We love teams who are moving the world forward, who care about people and our collective future, and who are driven with a deep sense of purpose to turn big ideas into tangible businesses.
