We’re here to lower the mµ.
We focus on removing friction from transactions, making it easier to get shit done. This thesis draws us to commerce infrastructure, vertical software, marketplaces, and consumer (brands and applications). We do not look at deep tech or biotech.
In each investment we start with the people, looking those beautifully insane founders that naturally attract talent, customers, and capital.
When we find a match, we get our hands dirty and partner aggressively to move our portfolio companies from zero to one. We hustle where founders need us, and get out of the way of everything else.
Our investment criteria:
What: Commerce infrastructure, vertical software, marketplaces, consumer (brands and applications)
When: Pre-seed and Seed
Where: Geographically open-minded, slight NYC preference
Amount: $200 - 500k first check, 25% of fund held for follow on
How: With joy! We make it fun and run from a$$holes (life is too short)
Repeat founders backing maniacs ready to hustle.
With 30 companies founded and scaled by the mµ ventures team, WE GET IT. It is so damn hard to build a venture business. We lead with that empathy and work hard to be your go to partner. It helps that we write small checks and don’t really invest beyond seed because you know we’re founder aligned. Our entrepreneurial journeys are filled with failures, middling exits, and great exits. In each instance, our best partners added joy to the day to day, and added a few zeros to the outcome. We fight daily to be that great partner.
Deploying capital + growth playbook to early stage companies.
Delivering higher impact for less equity.
Founders often succeed or fail based on their ability to leverage capital. Dollar for dollar, a $200-500k check from Mµ can drive more impact than a check 10x as big from a capital source with less focused, senior expertise. Mµ is a capital multiplier delivering the maximum impact per dollar raised on your cap stack.
