Investment thesis
New York Venture Partners is a family office run by founders that concentrates on pre-seed and seed-stage startups, having made more than 60 direct investments. Beyond capital, the firm provides an ecosystem of support including mentorship and strategic marketing consulting. While rooted in New York, the firm will consider any US-based startup structured as a Delaware C-corp, provided the founders are exceptional and possess an unfair advantage.
