Precursor Ventures

About Precursor Ventures

Precursor Ventures is a classic seed-stage venture capital firm investing in long-term relationships with founders we believe in. We invest in people over products at the earliest stage of the entrepreneurial journey. Our Investment Criteria: - We invest in early-stage companies in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and Toronto. We are willing to consider other geographies, but we focus our energy on these locations. -We typically invest $100,000 to $250,000 in a company’s first round of investment. Our goal is to be a meaningful investor in your first round but to also leave room for syndication. -We have reserves to participate in subsequent rounds of investment. We want to support the entrepreneurs we back through the lifecycle of the company. -We are a generalist firm that invests in known and unknown areas of software and hardware. While our investment focus themes change over time, we keep an open, curious mind in our desire to learn about emerging areas and invest ahead of trends. -We make 15-20 new investments per year on average. We believe this pace allows us to work with a wide network of founders while also being available to support those we have funded as they need help.
