True Ventures

True Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2005 that leads pre-seed and seed rounds, frequently serving as a company's first institutional investor at a point when product, market and team are still forming. The firm has committed $4 billion in capital, has backed more than 500 companies and has partnered with more than 1,050 founders.

Sector coverage spans frontier technology, hardware, artificial intelligence, biology, consumer and enterprise. The stated model pairs early capital with hands-on guidance, introductions and network access, and continued involvement through major company decisions and exits.

Support for portfolio founders is organised through named programmes: True Connect and Connected Stack, which provide introductions and access to a community of founders and operators; True Fellowship, offering guidance and resources; and AI Office Hours, which gives founders access to AI-related expertise.
