Frequently asked questions
How does Craft Ventures source deal flow?

What investment stages does Craft Ventures typically target?
Craft targets seed, start-up, and early-stage growth rounds. The firm is designed to be a company's first institutional capital and then follow on through later expansion rounds.
Is Craft Ventures a generalist fund or sector-focused?
