Investment thesis

6MV backs early-stage founders building in emerging technologies and companies capitalizing on platform shifts. The firm acts as a high-conviction lead or co-lead investor at Seed and Series A, writing checks of $2-5M on average with flexibility depending on the opportunity. Rather than indexing on founder pedigree, it seeks unique 'N of 1' founders building 'N of 1' companies, and aims to support teams across multiple rounds. The team, made up of former company founders and builders, focuses on builders who transform markets and change how people transact, build, and interact.
