Foundry Group invests in seed and early-stage information technology, Internet and software companies. In certain circumstances we will make later-stage investments that have early-stage characteristics, such as company re-starts or later-stage companies seeking their first round of institutional financing. Through our blog we hope to give you an idea of the kinds of themes we’re actively investing in or exploring.
If you’re a serious entrepreneur, you’ve undoubtedly already learned that the best way to reach out to a venture capitalist is through pre-existing relationships. Investing in early-stage startups is really about investing in people, so having someone we trust (such as entrepreneurs we’ve previously backed, service providers we work with, or other people in our community) vouch for you is immensely helpful.
That said, we recognize that not all networks will intersect, so if your universe doesn’t currently overlap with ours, don’t let that deter you. You can send an email directly to any of us via our bios with an executive summary or description of your business/ideas along with how you think we can help. Before reaching out to us, we strongly encourage you to look at our existing investments and read our blogs to make sure your opportunity is one that is relevant to our investment criteria
