1859 Ventures

About 1859 Ventures

We fund underrepresented founders because it’s time they stop being ignored in Oregon! For too long the founders building remarkable solutions have been left behind while funding for others in the state is on a record pace. We believe it’s time to narrow the wealth gap, help the founders that need help the most, and fuel growth at the earliest stages. 1859 Ventures is a mico fund built for founders, by founders. With a team dedicated to helping Oregon’s incredible founders, 1859 Ventures is the only early-stage VC firm in the state prioritizing women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and military veteran founders.
