About Blank Ventures
Blank Ventures is a San Francisco-based early-stage venture capital firm, founded in 2021, relentlessly focused on advancing the economic yield of financial innovation. It leads early-stage rounds, dedicating its capital and expertise to a concentrated portfolio.
It invests at pre-seed and seed, with checks of $500,000 to $2 million, backing companies including Spotnana, Lithic, Neo Financial, Kanmon, Playbook, Agree and Runloop.
Blank concentrates on three areas where new economic infrastructure is emerging: the Internet of Money, spanning stablecoins to machine commerce; AI enforcement and safety, making compliance, underwriting and risk computable; and The New Broker, where AI rearchitects distribution and risk participation.
Blank invests in relentless founders with animal spirits: instinctive conviction, willingness to move before consensus forms, and resilience to build through ambiguity. It targets individuals with the foresight to rewrite market structures and build defensible businesses that cannot be replicated with code.
