About Clutch VC

Clutch VC is a venture capital firm founded in 2022 and based in Austin, Texas, positioning itself as the most experienced seed-focused firm for B2B software in Texas. The firm aims to be a founder's "first call when it matters," leading rounds with conviction rather than following. The firm focuses exclusively on pre-seed and seed rounds of $1M to $5M, with an average check size between $500K and $2M, using both SAFE notes and priced rounds while typically taking board seats. Clutch positions itself as the gateway to a top-tier Series A, serving as the seed-stage partner of choice for leading institutional capital in Texas and beyond. Its portfolio includes ConverseNow, Allstacks, Collbox, Mavvrik, MooresLab AI, Pact, Reflex, and Statt, spanning B2B software and AI-driven productivity tools. The firm has been recognized with an Austin A-List Award, in partnership with SXSW, celebrating standout local entrepreneurship. Clutch's investment approach draws on over 40 years of combined team experience, emphasizing hands-on partnership, staying calm under pressure, and keeping founders focused on business fundamentals through the earliest and most volatile stages of company building.
