Bungalow Capital

Bungalow Capital is a pre-seed venture capital firm founded in 2020 by Dave Ambrose and Matt Ziskie, based in New York. The firm invests in software that gives individuals and businesses leverage, backing founders at the earliest, often pre-product stages of their companies. Its portfolio spans AI, creator tools, community software, proptech, and workflow platforms, including Circle, Faraday, Density, Ballpark, Audos, Deca, and Endorphins. Typical check sizes range roughly from $100K to $1M, reflecting a seed and early-stage focus on technology-driven startups. Bungalow prioritizes raw vision and founder conviction over polished decks or proven traction, often engaging with entrepreneurs while ideas are still early hunches. Their approach is relationship-driven and hands-on, leveraging Ambrose's and Ziskie's operating backgrounds to support founders through early company-building.
