Investment thesis
Path Ventures is a boutique pre-seed firm founded in 2020 that provides first checks typically ranging from $100K to $300K to early-stage founders. It targets post-money valuations between $4M and $10M and usually invests as the 2nd or 3rd largest check in a round, though it can set terms and lead smaller rounds. Most deals are done via standard post-money SAFEs, with priced equity for larger raises. The majority of the fund is deployed as first checks, with occasional follow-ons or SPVs. Though a generalist, the firm is currently drawn to fintech, enterprise SaaS, consumer tech, proptech, and legaltech, primarily in the US and Canada.
