Investment thesis
Slow Ventures is a generalist early-stage firm that has backed founders in the earliest rounds since 2011 across security, fintech, buyouts/rollups, SaaS, crypto, consumer, healthcare, and the creator economy. The firm publishes a range of theses, arguing that software (not just B2B SaaS) will reshape traditional industries through growth buyouts and rollups, that the future of healthcare lies in private practice, and that venture should pay attention to SMBs, franchising, and the creator economy. It also critiques the traditional 'factory system' of venture capital and emphasizes helping founders decide whether they should start a company, not merely whether they can.
