Investment thesis
Maven Ventures focuses on seed-stage consumer software startups that tap into new consumer behavior and emerging trends, backing bold, technical founders. The firm runs a highly-concentrated strategy with a small team supporting a select portfolio. It typically invests around $1M with the possibility of follow-on capital in later rounds, and works closely with founders as early advisors on areas such as KPI setting, go-to-market, growth, fundraising, and hiring. Since its 2013 founding, Maven reports 4 IPOs, 10 acquisitions, and 7 unicorns across roughly 50 investments.
