1414 Ventures

1414 Ventures is the only active fund backing pre-seed and seed-stage founders who are pioneering innovative digital identity technologies. The firm is focused solely on the digital identity space, which supports functions such as payments, cybersecurity, and data privacy & trust. In today's data-driven economy, the way credentials are captured, shared, and stored — for individuals and entities alike — shapes personal and business lives across all industries, and the rapid shift toward digitalization is putting immense pressure on outdated platforms. 1414 Ventures uses its extensive relationships, deep technical and domain expertise, and go-to-market know-how to quickly help founders grow companies addressing this next wave of innovation. The firm's name references the Safe Conducts Act of 1414 — widely recognized as the first official form of accepted identification — reflecting its thesis that we are on the cusp of the next chapter of digital identity.
