KnownWeil Capital partners with founders at the seed stage, providing up to $5M in initial funding
alongside deep operational expertise and a global network of co-investors.
We write seed checks ranging from $500K to $5M, structuring investments that give founders the runway to prove core hypotheses. Our capital comes with conviction — we lead rounds and commit to building alongside our founders through the earliest inflection points.
Our Thesis
From pre-product to post-revenue, we back technology companies across enterprise software, developer tools, fintech infrastructure, and applied AI. We are sector-agnostic within technology — what matters is the depth of the founder's insight and the magnitude of the opportunity.
