Positive Sum

Positive Sum is an early-stage venture capital firm that backs founders pursuing their life's work, providing patient, long-term capital and deep operational support. The firm invests especially from Seed to Series B in companies that are creating and reinventing categories, focusing on unique products in large markets that demonstrate high-frequency, repeatable customer traction and aim for compounding growth over decades. Positive Sum's mission is to capture and openly share the world's best knowledge on building great businesses. By 'learning in public,' the firm cultivates a network of founders, operators, and investors, and leverages its sister company Colossus to help portfolio founders tell their stories and connect with the right audiences. The firm's name reflects its core philosophy: creating positive-sum outcomes where companies, customers, and investors all benefit together.
