Investment thesis
Impatient Ventures is a pre-Series A fund led by a solo GP that backs mission-driven founders with strong drive and vision. The firm believes that when founders know their 'Why,' the 'How' becomes inevitable. It currently focuses on two areas: physical production, described as embodied innovation, and human connection, framed as the evolution of AI-driven consumer experiences. Positioning itself as one of the earliest and most helpful members of a company's cap table, the fund emphasizes hands-on support for its founders.
