Investment thesis
AfterWork Ventures invests in founders at the pre-seed and seed stage, when they are ready to transform an 'after work' side project into their life's work. The firm writes cheques of $100k to $500k and backs teams it considers the right team for the job with the ambition to make a significant impact. A key differentiator is its community of more than 100 tech operators, which the firm leverages to provide outsized support to its portfolio companies relative to its size.
