Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
NVF Capital is a thesis-driven venture capital firm comprised of career investors and former founders and operators. The fund invests in companies positioned at the intersection of shifting need states, emerging market demands, and evolving technology—driven by visionary leadership. NVF focuses on category-defining consumer brands and services, and the commerce infrastructure that powers them, backing companies that anticipate shifting consumer and business behaviors, unlock new purchasing patterns, and drive greater productivity across the commerce ecosystem through innovation and technology. NVF targets what it calls the 'New General Market'—an amalgamation of cultures, ethnicities, and demographics united by shared need states, lifestyles, and commonalities. Rather than serving specific communities in isolation, NVF backs founders who create solutions for the universal needs of today's increasingly diverse and interconnected consumers. The fund was established in 2018 with a $100 million commitment and invests across three primary verticals: consumer goods, technology, and media/entertainment, from Seed through Series C.
Notable quotes
“It's about partnering with these incredible entrepreneurs and their businesses to drive real scale and growth and create wealth for those founders. This new round of investments will rapidly transform not just the vegan restaurant industry but will drive an incredible amount of health initiatives and food options for the Black community that may not have existed yet.”
“It's about finding excellence in overlooked places. Whether we're building media brands or funding startups, it's the same philosophy.”
“Since the announcement of the New Voices Fund in July 2018, $40 million has been invested into nine companies, and another 4,000 companies have joined the New Voices community to apply for funding or other resources. This shows the true need and demand for this type of strategy in investing.”
