We back visionary founders who are building technologies of the future.
2048 Ventures is a thesis-driven earliest stage venture capital firm.
We are founders, operators, engineers, scientists and dreamers obsessed with the future. We've backed over 200 startups and have the experience and conviction to lead your pre-seed or seed round.
We get you and your vision before others
We are systems thinkers, engineers, and product junkies. We think about the future non-stop and are ready to understand and back you before anyone else. When we decide to invest, we write you a check and then help you close the rest of the round. We lead rounds with high conviction, and write $500K - $2M checks.
If you are a mission-driven team, with strong founder market-fit and a vision for what the future should look like, then we would love to meet you. We love serial founders, but we are also very excited about being the first to believe in underdogs, immigrants, and diverse founders who are going on their first founder journey.
We are not your typical early stage firm
We are thesis-driven investors, and invest in the next generation of platforms — Systems of Record, infrastructure and APIs across verticals.
We are focused on Deep Tech Infrastructure, Health Tech, Tech Bio and general B2B Platforms. Read our Theses here.
We move quickly, never waste your time and never ghost you. We commit to lead within 10-15 business days of our first meeting.
We are based in NYC and Boston, but are happy to lead your pre-seed or seed anywhere across North America.
Who we are
We are a team of experienced founders, operators, and scientists who are passionate about working with founders at the earliest stage. Collectively, we have invested in over 200 early stage startups. We are proud to have an NPS score of 100 from our founders.
