Investment thesis

Bonfire Ventures leads seed rounds in AI-native B2B companies, backing founders who rethink and rewire how business gets done. The firm focuses on ventures where small teams can accomplish the work of much larger ones, or where the product itself replaces functions previously handled by entire teams. Bonfire emphasizes deep B2B SaaS expertise and a hands-on, collaborative, low-ego approach to supporting portfolio companies through both strong and difficult periods.
