Twenty Two Ventures

What is Twenty Two Ventures?

Twenty Two Ventures is an investment fund that specializes in early-stage investments in the realms of cosmetics, fashion, online social platforms, and general consumer sectors. They target companies that are at the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A stages of funding, with an emphasis on businesses that demonstrate exceptional promise and have ambitious founders at the helm.

The fund commonly invests between $50,000 and $250,000, with a sweet spot of around $150,000 for each investment. Their investment thesis gravitates towards innovative and unusually great companies, particularly those that have yet to launch publicly.

With a standout conviction to invest earlier than most, Twenty Two Ventures extends their reach to sectors such as SaaS, Fintech, open source, Marketplaces, and Dev tools. Their approach is tailored to efficient execution and quick decision-making, which are key elements that set them apart from larger funds and align them closely with founders who prioritize a brisk return to their work. In looking for investee companies, they prioritize characteristics such as magnetism, tenacity, adaptability, and the ability to bring big ideas to life and steadily ship great products.

Among their selected investments, their portfolio consists of companies that offer solutions like centralized data management, enterprise features for Bazel, open-source product operating systems, payment automation, live shopping marketplaces, and user-friendly procurement software.

They actively seek to engage with founders that resonate with their ethos and have a promising vision for the future.
