Buckley Ventures is a venture capital firm making concentrated, conviction-driven investments in early-stage companies across internet, software, and frontier technology sectors, with over $1 billion in assets under management across multiple funds.

The fund is known for moving with angel-like speed while being able to lead sizable rounds, backing transformative technology companies from seed through growth.
Notable quotes
“Josh looks for three things when trying to identify the next legendary startup — covering his overall investment philosophy and strategy, what a flywheel looks like, and why the best entrepreneurs are cockroaches.”
“The best entrepreneurs are cockroaches — they survive everything. Capital efficiency and burn rates matter enormously, and the biggest challenge today is the oversupply of capital.”
