BIG Ventures is the VC fund for bad ideas, good stories, & great outcomes.

Let’s start with our values. We have four big ones. They’re not for everyone, but for the people we work with and invest in, they’re everything: 

Total transparency: From our LP pitch deck to our investment assessment, we show how we operate to demystify the world of venture capital and keep ourselves and our startups hard core honest. Transparency begets accountability. 

Radical candor: We love Kim Scott’s framework of feedback, radical candor, which calls for saying what you think while also giving a damn about the person you’re saying it to. Radical candor keeps bullsh*t at bay and excellence underway.

Better together: As the African proverb says, “If you want to go far, go together.” We seek collaborative startups, humble founders, and diverse teams who know great outcomes require a bunch of brilliance. 

Tragic optimism: Holocaust survivor and psychologist Victor Frankl developed this phrase in the 80s, and we believe in it, too. We remain doggedly hopeful about our collective future, despite the inevitable pain and suffering we all endure.

Vision + Mission  

Our vision is to be the largest verticalized venture capital fund that owns attention from check to headline.

Our Mission:

Community-led growth is our moat and our multiplier: We back technology efficient, community-led growth startups at the seed stage others overlook. 

Attention is our strategy: We deploy narrative capital to spark belief, earn visibility, and build entire movements. 

We own attention from check to headline: We believe stories move the world, and money measures it.
