Investment thesis

Hypothesis backs pre-seed and seed-stage founders, prioritizing the problem being solved over a founder's location or background. The firm takes a hands-on approach, providing initial capital to help teams launch product and go to market, while contributing its own skills, experience, and networks through regular meetings and video calls. It emphasizes building strong teams from the foundation, connecting founders with an ecosystem of builders, and offering support across product, marketing, sales, and design. Portfolio companies gain access to a broader community of founders, builders, and innovators. The firm holds that great future ideas will not depend on geography.
