Robot Ventures

Robot Ventures was founded to back founders working to reinvent finance. Its founding thesis centers on the view that ambitious, unconventional founders can reshape financial systems, including through fintech and crypto. Rather than providing capital alone, the firm describes its support as including extensive whiteboarding and product strategy, helping early teams reason through what they are building and how to bring it to market.

Today, Robot Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused principally on pre-seed and seed investments. Its portfolio and stated investment focus span fintech, cryptocurrency, and blockchain, and its website highlights companies working across financial products and crypto infrastructure. The firm also publishes research on topics including crypto markets and emerging technologies. Robot Ventures is led by Robert Leshner and Tarun Chitra and is associated with New York.
