Inspiration Ventures

Gady Nemirovsky, the founding partner, leads investment decisions. He built the firm after serving as a venture partner at SoftTech VC (now Uncork Capital), where he developed the conviction for concentrated, long-duration early-stage positions.

The firm's model emphasizes reserving substantial capital for follow-on rounds — a deliberate contrast to the high-volume seed approach. By maintaining or increasing ownership through Series A and B, Inspiration aims to capture more value from its strongest performers and signal ongoing conviction to downstream co-investors.

The firm focuses on seed and early-stage rounds, typically writing initial checks at the formation or pre-traction stage. It then follows on selectively through Series A and B, often participating alongside larger institutional venture firms that lead those later rounds.

Core sectors include enterprise software, fintech, digital health, AI/ML, and mobility. The firm has backed companies across each of these verticals from its Burlingame base, concentrating on Silicon Valley-originated deal flow.

While the firm's governance posture is not publicly detailed, Nemirovsky's concentrated, reserve-heavy model typically aligns with active board participation or observer roles — especially in companies where Inspiration maintains meaningful ownership through multiple funding rounds.
