Path Ventures

About The Fund

Path Ventures is a pre-seed venture capital firm investing in early-stage companies, providing founders with initial funding ranging from $100K to $300K, with a 'sweet spot' investment of around $200K. The firm commenced its journey in 2020 to support entrepreneurial efforts in diverse sectors, particularly focusing on businesses solutions, online social, consumer, and other innovative areas. Their investment portfolio showcases involvement in business-government linkage platforms, digital pet ownership, stock portfolio automation, community platforms for enterprises, and other unique propositions. They have demonstrated their commitment to enriching the startup ecosystem by offering financing, guidance, and a strong network of support to founders, particularly in the United States and Canada, while remaining open to international opportunities. Path Ventures typically participates as a second or third-largest check in rounds, but is also prepared to take the lead in smaller rounds with multiple investors. Generally, the firm is sector-agnostic but has a tendency towards financial tech, enterprise SaaS, consumer tech, property tech, and legal tech. Startups seeking investment can expect a decision within two weeks post-meeting, and Path Ventures simplifies transactions through standard post-money SAFE notes or opts for priced equity rounds when appropriate. Their hands-on approach includes support from Billy Draper, a venture capitalist with over a decade of experience, who founded Path to back ambitious founders at the formative stages. The firm highlights their process of partnership with startups, allowing founders to complete a submission form and undergo a video call for detailed assessment.
