404Fund

404Fund is a venture capital fund focused exclusively on financial technology in North America (primarily the US and Canada), investing from Pre-Seed through Seed. The fund targets founders rebuilding financial infrastructure from scratch — spanning payments, lending, embedded finance, B2B infrastructure, wealthtech, insurtech, regtech, crypto/Web3 finance, and AI-driven financial solutions. The team, composed of technical operators with backgrounds in quantitative trading, hedge funds, and software engineering, positions itself as hands-on partners: 'We blend institutional trading and quant research with serious software engineering knowledge, so we're not just value-add at the board level, we're in the trenches with you on critical things like product, compliance, and GTM.' A proprietary Real Trend System (RTS) is used to surface early traction signals — product usage, virality, and user sentiment — before traditional VCs take notice.
