## About Maven Ventures Growth Labs

Maven is a seed-stage venture firm investing in tech companies addressing emerging consumer behavior and trends. Maven identifies and backs bold founders with a vision worth fighting for. We help founders unlock their potential to change the world, building iconic brands like Zoom and Cruise.

Since our founding in 2013, Maven has achieved 4 IPOs, 10 acquisitions, and 7 unicorns across roughly 50 investments. From our earliest days, we’ve always maintained the same successful, highly concentrated strategy, with a small team of investors building and supporting a select portfolio of consumer software startups.

We help founders with an early product refine, articulate, and execute on the vision they aspire to bring to the world.

As soon as we make an investment, we often become our founders’ first call for guidance and advice. We pride ourselves on being founders’ most trusted advisors at the Seed stage across KPI setting, GTM, growth, fundraising, and hiring. Partnering with Maven typically includes a $1M investment with consideration for follow-on investing at subsequent financing rounds.

We invest in seed-stage software startups tapping into new consumer behavior and trends. We back bold, technical founders building startups around those trends.
