Investment Thesis

Active Capital is a pre-seed venture capital firm focused on AI-native business software. We love working with founders who stay small and scrappy until they find true product-market fit. We typically invest $100K to $1M, with the ability to invest significantly more as companies grow and our relationship develops. We like to invest early and be a meaningful part of the first capital raised.
