Investment thesis

New Stack Ventures focuses on backing 'outsider' founders who did not attend elite schools, work at Big Tech, or reside in the Bay Area, arguing that most venture capital overlooks these entrepreneurs despite many iconic companies being built by them. The firm leads or co-leads angel, pre-seed, and seed rounds with checks of $500K to $1.5M, investing across pre-revenue to early-commercialization stages. It concentrates on vertical AI, fintech, healthcare, and industrials (including manufacturing, energy, construction, defense, and supply chain). Leveraging relationships built over a decade hosting The Full Ratchet podcast, the firm supports portfolio companies with introductions to top-tier VCs when they raise Series A rounds.
