Inertia Ventures

At TenOneTen we invest early (pre-seed, seed, seed+) and love working with technical founders with a unique perspective, a big long-term vision, and the staying power to make that vision come true. The fund’s partners were founders themselves, growing companies from idea to $1B+ in exits. We're sector agnostic but we are particularly attracted to big industries undergoing transformation such as healthcare, logistics, real estate and financial services as well as the picks and shovels that make the Internet economy work. Our average check size is $1M and we primarily lead or co-lead.
