Social Leverage

Social Leverage is a seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2009, investing in exceptional founders building the future of finance and vertical AI. The firm focuses on highly innovative, capital-light companies with a viable product, a large addressable market, and a known pain point to solve — primarily in financial services, enterprise SaaS, and consumer technology. It makes opportunistic investments in consumer and media companies as well. Social Leverage's investment selection combines fundamental business evaluation with two decades of domain experience building, valuing, and selling companies, supported by a strong deal-flow pipeline of top-ranked VC/PE funds and exceptional entrepreneurs. The firm typically writes checks of $1M–$2M for 10%–20% ownership at seed stage, follows on selectively, and leverages its deep fintech network — anchored by co-founder Howard Lindzon's Stocktwits community — to surface and evaluate opportunities ahead of the market.
