Young founders

We take bets of young founders who don't have much experience. These companies have gone on to change the world - Brex, Stripe, DoorDash

All sectors

Young founders have the craziest ideas - we are sector-agnostic. We work with computer science, bioengineering, material science, mechanical engineering, business schools, so we field companies from all industries

Tell us your criteria

Each fund is different. We get it. Tell us what you're looking for and we can send companies operating in those specific areas to you

Diversity

We fundamentally believe in giving all founders a chance to prove themselves & be successful. This means we include founders from all backgrounds

Find them early

We often find companies before they're even really companies - when they're just ideas, or school projects, or a couple friends exploring ideas

Tech Tribe brings together some of the smartest personal and professional creative minds in the world and makes them available to you.

EthSign

Raised $12.7M from Animoca Brands & Draper Associates. EthSign is an e-signing platform that utilizes blockchain technology to offer a decentralized, customizable and transparent version of traditional signature service.

Pocus

Raised $23M from Coatue. Pocus helps companies like Miro, Webflow, Loom, and Superhuman focus their sales and success teams on the highest priority opportunities by surfacing insights at the right moment so reps can take quick action.

Federato

Raised $15M from Emergence, Caffeinated Capital, and Pear VC. Federato's underwriter workflow software ostensibly allows actuaries and portfolio analysts to drive high-level risk analysis into the hands of front-line underwriters, allowing clients to understand and make better decisions.

What can you expect?

We have a community of scouts that come from the world's best university & corporate programs. They want to become founders and VCs themselves - and we'd love for you to support them

No strings attached

We send deals over, but there's no official contractual or official relationship. Feel free to take a look at the deal or pass. We only ask that you explain the decision making back to the scouts - so they can learn.

Co-investing

For deals you do end up doing, we ask that 1010Partners is left some allocation. Typically we'd expect an allocation of about 5-10% of the round, so $50K for a $500K pre-seed, $300K for a $3M seed, or $500-$1.5M for a $10-$15M Series A.

Lifelong community

Our scouts & alumni go on to work at venture firms, become founders, become executives at high growth startups. Join the community for life - once you're an investor in our network, we'll include you in our community for life.

Your future associate

You can think of scouting as a bootcamp in how to become a great VC. You could meet your next superstar associate here and get to know them through scouting before bringing them onto your team.

Your digital strategy involves your brand identity and your digital brand experience. How well you execute on both correlates to your perceived legitimacy in the market. Lucky for you, we're not bad at it.

For Investors.

We find diverse companies started by young founders and send them to you once they're mature and are ready for pre-seed / seed stage funding.
