Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Supernode Ventures is a sector-agnostic, early-stage venture capital fund focused on pre-seed and seed stage technology companies that are transforming the way people live, work, and socialize. Founded in 2017 by Laurel Touby — a former business journalist and exited tech founder — the firm states: 'At Supernode Ventures, we invest in the technologies that are transforming our lives, now and into the future.' The fund evaluates opportunities with a structured framework that weights team at 70%, market potential at 20%, and product viability at 10%, backing exceptional founders across FinTech, HealthTech, B2B/Enterprise, eCommerce, Supply Chain, and AI/ML. Supernode leverages Laurel's extensive media and tech network — including proprietary Tech Media Dinner & Discussion salons — as a dealflow engine, and has a notable focus on Latin American pre-seed investments alongside its core US market.
Notable quotes
“Applying that same instinct to gather people together with my skills as a business journalist, I began investing. After all, reporting out a business story isn't all that different from diligencing a startup and learning about an addressable market.”
“We'll invest in pre-seed and seed rounds. We'll either write the first institutional check for a pre-seed investment, or we'll join a syndicate at the seed stage if the company is a bit further along.”
“No founder can question the value add of being a Supernode Ventures portfolio company. An inveterate connector, Laurel and her team dip into the network daily to connect portfolio CEOs with potential customers, investment and media.”
