New Stack Ventures

About

New Stack leads rounds at the angel, pre-seed, or seed stage. We typically invest between $500k and $1.5M into startups that are pre-revenue, in pilots/PoCs, or early Commercialization.

Focus Areas

New Stack invests broadly across sectors, categories, and business types. The team has unique expertise in the following areas:

  • Enterprise SaaS, Legacy Industry SaaS
  • Marketplaces, Platforms
  • HardTech, IoT

Philosophy

At New Stack, we invest in outsiders. Our startups don't look like what's commonly funded in Silicon Valley. The standard formula of Stanford educated, Google trained, Bay Area-located is NOT what we're looking for. We believe in mission-driven founders with an irrational commitment to their cause --regardless of location or circumstance.

Themes that we look for include:

  • TRACTABLE: Tools that give non-experts, expert capabilities
  • UGV: Platforms that empower users to generate value
  • ACCESS TO IDLE SUPPLY: Activating idle capacity
  • TROJAN HORSE: Targeted beachhead provides access to broader opportunity
  • NETWORK EFFECTS: Value increases as users increase
  • BD INNOVATION: Customer acquisition strategy is as novel as the product
  • COMPETING W/ NON-CONSUMPTION: Turning non-consumers into consumers
  • MOUNTING LOSS: As individual usage increases, switching costs increase
