Salt VC

Salt VC is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests at pre-seed and seed, often before a funding round, pitch deck, or fully formed company. The firm's stated premise is that committed partners make an outsized difference at the earliest stage, and it positions its involvement accordingly: candid counsel, practical help, and introductions to first hires, customers, and investors, rather than passive capital alone.

Sector focus spans artificial intelligence and AI-native companies alongside fintech, healthcare, commerce, and the future of work. Beyond capital, the firm connects founders to a supportive founder community and indicates an intention to stay involved over the long arc of a company's development.

Notable portfolio companies include Ethos, Allbirds, Lucid, Nomi Health, and Tava Health. Salt VC operates from two offices, in San Francisco, California and Lehi, Utah.
