Base Ventures

Base Ventures, founded by Erik Moore, is a seed-stage fund investing in technology companies. We are sector-fluid, seed-stage tech investors who believe in supporting the next big thinker and not the next big thing. We believe in the powerful magic of human potential. Above all else, we value exceptional founders. With more than 20 years of investing and challenging conventional wisdom, we’ve gained invaluable insight into what makes great founders and opportunities. And we never stop evolving, continually refining our strategy, approach, and outlook. We support our founders by being uniquely resourceful and always on. We’re honest, even when the conversations are tough. And most importantly, we know when to get out of the way. We empower founders to focus on growth over image, to make smart moves that put long-term success over short-term gains. Current portfolio includes Virool, Suf Airlines, Plangrid, StyleSeat, Mayvenn, and others. Successful exits include Socialcam (acquired by Autodesk), Crowdalbum (acquired by Spotify), Modest (Acquired by Braintree), and Appstores (acquired by InMobi).
