    Outsiders 

  • Access for All

    Historically, 80%+ of Venture Capital has been invested in Silicon Valley insiders. Yet, many of the most iconic companies were built by those who didn't go to Stanford, work for Big Tech, or call the Bay Area Home. We exist to back those founders.

    Founder Quotes

    "The process with New Stack was very different than other investors. It was casual and it was intentional - ensuring it wasn’t wasting my time. Also, everyone we talked to sang your praises…they said don’t even look back, it’ll be one of the smartest moves you’ll ever make. And that wasn’t just said once, it was said multiple times."

     

    Kwame Boler, Founder, Spritz
