Story Ventures

Story Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2016 and based in New York. It backs founders building data-driven technologies and automated systems, investing from the earliest stages of company formation. The firm's thesis rests on the convergence of three developments: better sensors that capture data, modern data infrastructure that organises and structures it, and machine-intelligence applications that use it to improve decisions and automate work.

Within that framework, the firm describes its areas of technical interest as sensory systems, data processing and infrastructure, machine intelligence, and AI-enabled applications. Its portfolio reflects a spread of industries rather than a single vertical: companies working on connected-vehicle analytics, electronic medical-record data, expert market intelligence, industrial automation, and AI-enabled applications. Sectors represented across these holdings include mobility, healthcare, financial services, logistics, and legacy markets.

Story Ventures states that it partners with founders taking on complex problems across industries, with an emphasis on backing ambitious, endurance-driven founders and helping turn ambitious ideas into enduring companies. Further details on fund size, team composition, and check size are not disclosed.
