Investment thesis

Magnify Ventures backs pre-seed and seed stage companies reshaping the full spectrum of family life and the care economy. It views care as spanning multiple industries and life stages, creating opportunities across large, evolving markets. The firm targets founders re-imagining the everyday systems families depend on, and increasingly focuses on the AI infrastructure layer of the care economy through its Fund II. Beyond capital, Magnify positions itself as an ecosystem builder, offering category expertise and a strong network, and has founded initiatives like RAISE Global and a care-focused Summit to strengthen the venture ecosystem around care.
