Investment thesis
Scribble Ventures focuses on AI native companies, backing founders at the pre-seed and seed stages. It evaluates founders on their history, edge, and ability to reinvent existing markets or create new ones. The firm right-sizes initial checks (typically $750K-$1.5M) to reduce founder dilution and often serves as the first backer. It invests selectively to concentrate time and effort at the earliest, most critical stages, offering deep hands-on support in product and go-to-market where the team has extensive operating experience, including direct founder communication channels and introductions to its network.
