Fortify Ventures

Fortify Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in technology companies that improve human health and performance. Its mandate concentrates on the intersection of human health and wellness, consumer products, real-world behavior and technology - a space where consumer health technology, wellness technology and behavior change applications overlap. Investments are explicitly limited to this area: biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical devices are excluded from the firm's focus.

The firm invests at the early stage and states that it supports founders through exit. Beyond capital, it provides strategic guidance, hiring support and introductions, and it seeks companies in which the team's own experience makes it a useful partner. That team is drawn from founders, operators and investors, a composition intended to inform both diligence and post-investment involvement.

Technical domains of interest include consumer health technology, wellness technology, human performance technology, consumer products and behavior change technology. Relevant industry verticals span human health and wellness, consumer products and consumer technology.

Fortify Ventures also runs Distilled Intelligence, a summit and initiative that convenes founders, operators, investors and experts to build a community around its investment thesis. The firm describes its mission as helping people feel better, function better and perform better, and positions startups as the fastest route to a healthier future.
