Reverb Ventures

About The Fund

Reverb Ventures is an investment fund that specializes in early-stage investments, focusing primarily on Pre-Seed and Seed stages with investment sizes ranging from $50,000 to $300,000, with a sweet spot of around $200,000. The industries they target for investment include FinTech and Financial Services, Entertainment and Sports, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies, Gaming and eSports, and Consumer Goods, with a particular interest in ventures that are Women-Focused. Spearheaded by Dave Nemetz, Reverb Ventures is built on the belief that 'every company is a media company,' leveraging Nemetz's extensive experience in building media platforms to over 100 million monthly users combined with companies like Bleacher Report and Inverse. Their investment thesis is centered around early-stage startups that are at the intersection of web3 and the creator economy, including creator tools, platforms, and web3 projects that enable creators to grow their followings, monetize their work, and build impactful businesses. Beyond financial support, Reverb Ventures aims to provide strategic advantages to its portfolio companies by facilitating introductions to key players in the industry and providing guidance on content strategies, media flywheel development, and transitioning from web2 to web3. They employ a straightforward investment process where potential investees can expect feedback within 48 hours and a due diligence period typically lasting a week. Post-investment, Reverb Ventures remains an active partner, offering its network and expertise to help startups navigate the media and creator landscape, support user/customer acquisition, manage the transition to decentralized operations, and assist in scaling native content and community engines. They are a valuable addition to any startup's cap table, particularly those who wish to incorporate media strategies into their growth plans.
