FOVC

FOVC is a venture capital firm investing at pre-seed in vertical enterprise software, artificial intelligence, B2B software and fintech. It typically leads or co-leads founders' first institutional rounds, with reserved follow-on capital earmarked to support portfolio companies through Seed and Series A.

The firm's stated focus is on software built for large, foundational industries - essential sectors that are often overlooked and whose founders may lack early institutional capital and experienced support. Portfolio work spans purpose-built vertical applications as well as automation software aimed at these markets.

Alongside capital, FOVC offers hands-on mentorship: managing partners work with companies on business models, metrics and milestones, with ongoing coaching across product, go-to-market strategy, talent and capital. The firm describes its approach as high-conviction investing paired with sustained involvement, and it looks for founders with earned wisdom and a demonstrated ability to execute - a criterion it applies irrespective of place, pedigree or network.
