Investment thesis
Somersault Ventures invests at the seed stage in next-generation software and marketplace businesses, seeking companies with potential to become enduring category leaders or monopolies, often within niche or overlooked verticals and functions. The remote-first team draws on backgrounds in product, finance, and operations, aiming to be hands-on partners to founders at early inflection points. Its first institutional vehicle, Fund I, is backed by global tech entrepreneurs and executives. The firm has a particular affinity for founding teams connected to UC Berkeley or with a CEE immigrant background, communities it understands well and where it sees consistent entrepreneurial talent.
