Equal Venture

About Equal Venture

Equal Ventures is a seed-stage venture fund that backs the founders and businesses that are disrupting legacy markets. We are not followers. We prefer to lead rounds in the founders we believe in, although we will co-lead under the right circumstances. We are usually the first institutional investor in the companies we back and are not influenced by who else is around the table. We're focused on -Retail We’re witnessing the tremendous transformation in retail as brands seek to reduce their dependence on platforms and establish new methods and models for today’s consumers. We’re excited to partner with founders building enabling infrastructure and platforms for the reinvention of retail. -Insurance Insurance is a multi-trillion dollar industry experiencing transformation across every facet of the value chain. We’re excited to back companies leveraging digital solutions to increase efficiency and align customers with insurers to “bend the risk curve” and reduce claims. -Supply Chain All the physical goods we touch make their way through the supply chain and we’re seeing rapid digitization to transform the real economy. We’re excited to back founders unifying supply chain networks, democratize access to technology, and developing solutions to achieve unprecedented economic and environmental -Climate Climate change presents one of the biggest challenges of our time. As the clean energy economy grows, we believe new technologies, models, and platforms will drive more sustainable behavior across both the energy sector and broader economy while generating phenomenal economic impact. -Care One of the biggest financial burdens on dual-income families is the care of loved ones, particularly children and seniors. We’re interested in companies that can improve access, accountability, and affordability of care services in these segments.
