About The Fund
Diaspora Ventures is a venture capital firm based in San Francisco, USA, focusing on pre-seed investments in the next generation of European entrepreneurs, particularly French, who are building tech companies in the United States. The fund aims to back these entrepreneurs who possess a 'Je ne sais quoi'—an indescribable special feature or quality—acknowledging Europe as a source of talented and ambitious individuals with some of the best engineers and product designers in the world. Diaspora Ventures identifies that European founders often lack the opportunity to expand beyond their borders due to limited access to funding, talent pools, playbooks, or networks. By investing early, Diaspora Ventures helps founders access the best tech ecosystem in the world, helping them to realize their global ambitions. With a fund speciality in Pre-Seed, Seed, Early Stage, and Series A, Diaspora Ventures has an investment range between $100,000 and $200,000, with a sweet spot of around $150,000. The firm, led by Carlos Diaz and Marvin Liao, leverages deep operating and investing experience. Carlos Diaz, who has lived in SF for over a decade, is known for creating his first startup at the age of 23, which went public, and moving his SaaS company to Silicon Valley, where he also launched the startup acceleration program The Refiners. Marvin Liao is a former Partner at 500 Startups and has made over 414 pre-seed and seed-stage investments while also serving on advisory boards of various venture capital funds. Both partners have a history of support to more than 500 startups. Diaspora Ventures operates mainly within the software (Web Marketplace SaaS), business solutions, and IoT (& Wearables) sectors, positioning itself as a vital connector for European founders seeking to make an impact in the US.
