True Ventures

Activity from announced rounds

All recorded activity

True Ventures leads pre-seed and seed rounds, usually as a company’s first institutional investor, across software, AI, biology, hardware, consumer products, robotics, energy and defence.

It invests while a business may still be an idea or a small team testing a hypothesis. The partnership works collectively: no individual partner owns a deal, and founders can draw on the wider team from the first meeting.

Its founder network supplies practical introductions to early customers, candidates and other entrepreneurs. The firm has also backed founders in their subsequent companies, making repeat company building part of its investment model.
