Overline VC is a seed stage venture capital firm focused on nurturing high-potential startups in the Southeast. They specifically target companies in various industries, including PropTech, Business Solutions, FinTech and Financial Services, CleanTech, A.I. and Big Data, Web Security and Privacy, Autonomous Vehicles and Cars, Aerospace and Defense, Real Estate and Construction, DeepTech, and the Consumer sector. As generalists, they remain industry and business model agnostic, which allows them to lead or co-lead pre-seed and seed investing rounds with the flexibility to offer financial contributions ranging from $250,000 to $1,500,000, with a sweet spot around $875,000 for initial investments. Overline's investment philosophy places a strong emphasis on the founding teams, choosing to invest early from the inception of a new idea through stages of initial traction and company building. They prefer to establish relationships with founding teams well in advance of a fundraising event and are known for leveraging their comprehensive Operating Partner network to provide deep industry and functional expertise. This network also serves to keep them informed on emerging trends, new technologies, and shifting buyer behaviors. Overline prides itself on being a long-term partner to its portfolio companies and extends beyond capital investment by providing active personal engagement, strategic and operational insight, advice, and introductions with the goal of creating an unfair market advantage. With a portfolio that's celebrated in industry news and a team comprising proven founders, operators, community builders, and a diverse array of Operating Partners, the firm roots its values in authentic relationships, transparency, direct communication, empathy, and personal respect. Overline VC commits to reviewing and responding to every pitch from founding teams in the Southeast, encouraging warm introductions but also offering a submission form for pitches on their website.
