## About Type Capital

Type Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2024 by Terri Burns, formerly the youngest-ever partner at Google Ventures (GV) at age 26, and its first Black female partner. Based in New York City, the firm positions itself as a pre-seed and seed investor focused on being the first check in for founders — anchoring deals before other investors get involved.

The firm's core thesis is built around avoiding what Burns calls "heat-driven" investing, where VCs wait for signals from other investors before committing. Type Capital aims to identify and back founders early and independently, then help them secure follow-on capital. The firm also supports founders in navigating the fundraising process beyond the initial check.

Type Capital focuses on digital consumer companies, developer tools, and artificial intelligence — with particular interest in Gen Z founders. Typical check sizes range from $100K to $1.5M. The firm's most recent investment is in 4amskin, a seed-stage startup that raised $4M.
