## About Foothill Ventures

Foothill Ventures is a technology-focused venture fund based in Los Altos, California. Our team of passionate investors brings deep experience as founders and operators. We focus on frontier tech, making early-stage investments in infrastructure and AI applications.

Foothill Ventures backs entrepreneurs pursuing world-changing breakthroughs.

We partner with early-stage companies that demonstrate technical differentiation. This means that one of their major reasons for future success will be technical or product-level superiority.

What do we look for?

▪ Strong technical founders Our first criteria is the quality of the founding team. In addition to favoring strong technologists, we look for a consistent past record of leadership success.

▪ Diverse founders We have had great success betting on immigrant founders, female founders, and PhD founders. When a founding team contains diversity among the founders, we tend to lean in.

▪ Cross-disciplinary approach We believe that very large opportunities are created when two disciplines collide. Many of our top investments are in cross-disciplinary areas.
