New Stack Ventures positions itself as an investor in outsiders, aiming to diversify the venture capital landscape which has traditionally been concentrated in Silicon Valley. They invest nationally and are dedicated to working with founders who may not fit the conventional startup mold. The firm's unique investment thesis hinges on the idea that many of the most iconic companies have been built by founders who were not inherently part of the Silicon Valley insider group. They offer founders post-investment support, leveraging their connections to introduce them to founding or general partners at Tier 1 firms. One of the cornerstone features of New Stack Ventures is their network and advocacy, as they facilitate introductions and actively support their portfolio companies. Their team consists of professionals with diverse backgrounds ranging from product management and M&A to military and legal expertise, ensuring a comprehensive approach to venture capital investment and support.
