Victress Capital

Visible Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2016 by Lori Cashman and Suzanne Norris, with offices in Boston and New York City. The firm invests where generational fractures create outsized market opportunities, with a particular focus on companies building better paths to health, wealth, and upward mobility for Gen Z. The firm targets seed and Series A stages, writing initial checks typically in the $1M–$3M range. Beyond capital, it provides founder coaching, go-to-market support, and introductions to strategic customers and partners — with portfolio companies averaging seven months to their next funding round, compared to an industry standard of 12–18 months. Visible Ventures draws on a Gen Z advisory council and campus scout network to source deals early. It also maintains a strong emphasis on women-founded and women-led companies, a segment that has historically received less than 2.3% of venture funding. Notable portfolio companies include Superpower, Alinea, Droplette, Remark, Ello, Knit, and Grayce, spanning health tech, fintech, consumer, and market research. The firm has recorded over 20 exits to date, including the acquisition of coUrbanize by Gravity in September 2025.
