Investment thesis
MVP focuses on Vertical AI, believing that AI-native, domain-specific software will surpass legacy vertical SaaS as the application layer opens and development costs fall, allowing smaller checks to have greater impact. The firm backs Seed and Series A founders and emphasizes building companies rather than just funding them, drawing on decades of operating experience across hospitality, sports, education, and other industries. It invests nationally but sees particular opportunity in Greater Philadelphia, where it has operated for forty years and where strong founders and universities coexist with a shortage of early-stage capital.
