Supernode Ventures

What is Supernode Ventures?

Supernode Ventures is a generalist venture capital firm headquartered in the Flatiron District, NYC, US. Founded in 2017 by Laurel Touby, a successful former founder and investor, Supernode invests in early-stage tech startups, specifically in the pre-seed and seed stages, occasionally extending to Series A rounds.

With a broad industry focus, they have carved a niche in sectors like Media, FinTech, A.I., HealthTech, Healthcare, and Consumer products. Their inaugural fund included investments in over 50 companies across various sectors, demonstrating their sector-agnostic approach.

Companies in their portfolio include Braze, which IPO'd in 2021, and BBOT, which had a $100 million exit, among others such as Electric.ai, Covalto, DeepScribe.ai, Habi.co, Levels Health, Passport Shipping, OnTop.ai, Nirvana Health, and more. The firm operates with investment amounts ranging from $50,000 to $100,000, with a sweet spot of around $75,000, suggesting their focus on early-stage ventures where they can provide impactful seed funding to catalyze growth. Laurel Touby, with a background in business journalism and tech entrepreneurship, actively contributes to the media landscape through her Tech Media Dinner & Discussion events, maintaining engagement with the media industry beyond the capacity of an investor.

Jenny Friedman, co-founder of Four Acres Capital and former partner at Supernode Ventures, has previously worked at Eniac Ventures and Minibar Delivery, bringing rich experience in seed stage investments and operations.
