Investment thesis
Active Capital backs technical founders building AI-native business software, infrastructure, and products that solve real business problems. It focuses on pre-seed investing and prefers to be part of the first capital a company raises, typically writing checks of $100K to $1M with capacity to invest more as companies grow. The firm favors founders who stay small and scrappy until they reach true product-market fit, and concentrates on companies being built in the US across areas such as apps, agents, and infrastructure.
