About The Fund

Essence VC is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Seattle, WA, focusing on investing in companies at the pre-seed to Series A stages, with an investment range of $100,000 to $10,000,000 and a 'sweet spot' of around $1,000,000 per investment. They specialize in developer tools and data infrastructure companies, particularly infrastructure-focused ventures. They target deep technology businesses in the enterprise space but are also open to consumer-oriented startups. With an inclination towards business solutions, A.I. and big data, blockchain and cryptos, and cloud services and infrastructure, they avoid involvement in healthcare and life sciences. Essence VC aims to provide more than just capital by contributing to story development, founder growth, community building, and engineering team development. The firm does not attempt to simply add value; their success is tethered to making a substantial difference for their investees. They leverage a deep technical background and personal operational experience to assist founders in crafting compelling narratives for various audiences. Additionally, their support extends to the emotional and tactical journey founders undertake as they transition into effective leaders. As builders of communities, the Essence VC team draws on their firsthand experience in growing open source and developer communities, offering unique networks and tactical advice for traction. When it comes to team building, Essence VC provides guidance in hiring crucial engineering roles, drawing from extensive connections in open source and developer communities. Essence VC's ethos is centered around the concept of the 'Essence Family,' where supported founders become part of a trusted community. Their managing partner, Timothy Chen, along with a team of advisors and venture partners, possess extensive experience in the fields of enterprise infrastructure, open source, and developer tools, providing robust support to the portfolio companies.

What they say:

We invest in developer tools and data infrastructure companies at the earliest stages (pre-seed to A).
