We invest across emerging industries with a strong focus on FinTech and InsurTech, Applied AI, Drones and Robotics, where the team has deep domain expertise.
Partners John Frankel, Adam “AJ” Plotkin and Alex Katz continue to lead one of the most experienced early and seed-stage venture capital teams in the US. We’ve invested in some of the most successful, high growth companies today including; Socure, Omaze, Rhino, Rescale, Stocktwits, Owlet, and Addepar, taking a highly engaged approach helping our founders build real companies with real business models.
True to the “founder friendly” name, our approach, providing deep operational expertise and support, has resulted in a 14 year track of ffVC portfolio companies graduating to Series B at a rate 5x the industry average.
Our active portfolio of 86 companies has a combined market cap of over $15bn. ffVC invests at the earliest stage of company formation with initial investments often as the lead investor with active Board participation. Because our funds stop investing at Series B, there are exceptional co-invest opportunities for our LPs at no fee/ no carry.
