Investment thesis
Muse Capital is an early-stage venture firm focused on overlooked and untapped consumer technology opportunities organized around three themes: how people care, play, and live. Over roughly eight years it has backed category-defining companies in large, traditionally overlooked markets, often writing early or first checks. Beyond capital, the firm emphasizes hands-on support, strategic introductions, and access to its network, positioning itself as a partner for purpose-driven, mission-led founders rather than just a source of funding.
