At Primordial Ventures, we are building the leading early-stage portfolio of software startups in North Carolina. We believe the state is uniquely positioned to generate outsized venture returns, yet remains overlooked compared to the coasts. With a thriving talent pool, world-class universities, and a growing density of repeat founders, North Carolina offers the right mix of opportunity and value — and we are purpose-built to capture it. We focus exclusively on North Carolina–based software startups at the pre-seed and seed stage with a product in market with paying customers, capital-efficient business models, and founding teams that blend vision, resilience, and executional grit. We invest in 50–60 startups over the life of the fund, writing small initial checks across a wide range of promising teams, then reserve roughly 70% of our fund for follow-ons, concentrating additional capital in the top quartile companies.
Notable quotes
“Standing up a brand new VC fund is a lot like running a startup. You've got a small team, need to look polished and professional while you're still figuring out your internal processes, and running lean with limited resources. Focus is paramount. Real, authentic relationships are vital. So much of this business involves bringing your whole self to work and genuinely caring about the people you work with and support. Great founders can come from anywhere. All backgrounds, all industries, all genders, all ages, all years of experience.”
