CRV — Funding Activity & Portfolio Companies

Activity in this selectionOct 17, 2026 · Jul 20, 2026

CRV leads seed and Series A rounds in technology startups, focusing on founders with a distinctive insight into a market or unmet customer need.

The firm works with founders on early hiring, reaching customers and deciding which parts of a business need to change as it develops. Its model includes board participation and follow-on financing: after leading Vercel’s Series A, CRV continued investing through later rounds.

That pattern is relevant for founders seeking a lead investor at the beginning of an institutional funding journey, with the possibility of an ongoing board and financing relationship as the company grows.
