Pitch Us
At 16VC, we understand founders have questions, and we aim to provide clear, concise answers. Here's a quick look at how we operate and support your growth.
Our current fund is a $20M vehicle, allowing us to invest in a wide range of sectors. We typically engage in the first few financing rounds of a project, focusing on opportunities with high growth potential.
We offer investment checks ranging from $150k to $250k. Our process is flexible, allowing us to tailor our investments to the specific needs of each company. We make 6-10 investments per year, carefully selecting the most promising ventures.
We maintain a long-term view in our investments, often participating in follow-on rounds to support continued growth. Our goal is to help create enduring value in the companies we back, prioritizing lasting success over short-term gains.
We are independent conviction investors. Each investment decision is made based on a thorough analysis of the opportunity, and we do not require internal consensus or rely on the decisions of other funds.
Our diligence process is designed to be efficient yet thorough. We aim to move quickly, with the average time from first meeting to final decision being around two weeks. For areas where we require deeper understanding, this process may take longer.
Beyond capital, we provide strategic guidance, mentorship, and access to our extensive network. We work closely with our portfolio companies, helping them navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities. Whether it’s refining their business model, scaling operations, or preparing for future funding rounds, we’re committed to their long-term success.
