Great Oaks Venture Capital

Great Oaks Venture Capital is a New York-based early-stage investment firm founded in 2011. It partners with founders building businesses across the United States, investing from pre-seed through Series A. Typical investments range from $50,000 to $500,000 per company, and the firm provides hands-on support alongside capital from a small team.

The firm takes a generalist approach, investing across software, enterprise software, consumer internet, marketplaces, fintech and healthcare technology. Its stated focus is on durable, enduring businesses rather than a single sector thesis, which means investment activity spans technology and consumer markets as well as healthcare and financial services.

Great Oaks was co-founded by Andy Boszhardt, who has seeded hundreds of technology and consumer startups over the course of his career. The partnership operates as a small, collegial team and describes its role as supporting companies from their earliest moments, bringing varied perspectives and experience from within the partnership.

Headquartered in New York, the firm invests nationally across the United States.
