Footwork is an early-stage focused venture capital firm that leads and co-leads Seed and Series A rounds in companies with early signs of product-market fit. The firm focuses on consumer technology and the consumerization of enterprise technology, backing founders building the next generation of category-defining companies. Footwork's equal partnership combines world-class investing and operating experience, and the firm takes a thesis-driven approach, going deep in specific swim lanes — including AI-native products, vertical SaaS, fintech infrastructure, and climate tech — while maintaining a concentrated portfolio of a handful of new investments per year.
Notable quotes
“It's very rare you have someone like Nikhil, that is early in his venture career and has amazing returns, and someone like me, that sat in a C-level seat at an under ten-person company and helped scale it to a public company.”
“We have a lot of motivation to show that instead of the academic chatter about diversity driving better results, we can show it.”
“We want Footwork's brand to be built based on the success of our portfolio, not in advance of it. This takes time, especially when you invest like we do at the early-stage with just a handful of new investments every year.”
