At TVC, it is our goal to invest in highly defensible, category defining, mission driven companies solving for the world’s biggest problems. In parallel, we have a strong preference for working with founders that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion, at every point and turn, because it’s long been proven that diverse teams outperform. We believe this is the clearest investment and impact opportunity of the coming decades with our very own team representing our intent and ongoing commitment in action.

Starting a company from the ground-up, especially during macroeconomic downturns, isn’t an easy feat. Most venture-backed startups operate against a 9 out 10 failure rate and an especially difficult period of time called the “Valley of Death”, a popular term that describes the timeframe from inception to product market fit, during which a startup has to largely rely on money from investment to survive.

Our approach is designed to help as many startups through this challenging period as possible ensuring the highest number of successful outcomes. Supporting founders isn’t about vague “value-add” or checking boxes - it’s core to our DNA. As early stage investors, we believe in the power of leveraging our combined experiences for the benefit of the founders we are fortunate enough to back, driving better outcomes for companies and thus investors.
