Cornerstone VC

Cornerstone VC is a venture capital firm focused on a 'people first' investment strategy, investing in high-growth tech and tech-enabled businesses at pre-seed and seed stages. The firm's mission is to establish a leading VC firm with a diversity-led investment strategy that unlocks outperformance and delivers returns for investors. They target management teams with inherent diversity (such as age, gender or ethnicity) and acquired diversity (social capital), addressing the equity funding gap for entrepreneurs that are too often overlooked by the wider funding community. Their investment strategy is built around three thematic pillars: Live (Health Tech, Carbon Tech, Supply Chain and Logistics, PropTech & Infrastructure), Work (Enterprise Software, Machine Learning/AI, Fintech, EdTech & Skills), and Play (Networks & Marketplaces, Online Communities, Web 3.0/Immersion, Social, Adtech and Martech). The firm believes that diverse perspectives deliver innovation and outperformance, and that regions outside of London are consistently overlooked despite strong evidence of exceptional talent and innovation.
