Moxxie Ventures

Katie Jacobs Stanton and Alex Roetter are the General Partners and make all investment decisions. Stanton brought her operating background from Twitter, Google, and the Obama White House, while Roetter was previously SVP of Engineering at Twitter, where he scaled the ads business to $2.5B. The team has no junior investment professionals making independent calls.

Moxxie invests at pre-seed and seed stages with checks ranging from $500K to $2M. The firm's stated sweet spot is a $1.5M check at a $15M post-money valuation. It prefers to lead or co-lead rounds and favors small, price-sensitive raises in the $2-4M range.

Yes. The firm states explicitly that it requires at least one technical founder in every portfolio company. This aligns with its operator-heavy support model, where General Partner Alex Roetter and AI specialist Prateek Joshi directly assist with engineering and product challenges.

Moxxie typically avoids aviation, blockchain, DTC products, fashion, media, and any business that meaningfully contributes to increased CO2 emissions. The firm also sidesteps rounds requiring significant sales and marketing spend at the seed stage, calling out AI horoscopes and psychic SaaS as unsuitable fits.

Moxxie embeds a full platform team into its portfolio: a strategic CFO for cap table and budgeting, a GTM lead for sales infrastructure, an AI specialist for shipping LLM features, and a head of operations. The firm also activates the “Moxxie Besties,” a curated network of operators and policy experts, for founder introductions and hires.

The firm’s deal flow comes from the deep networks of its partners, who collectively held senior roles at Twitter, Google, and the Obama administration, plus an angel track record in companies like Coinbase and Airtable. Stanton and Roetter rely on operator referrals and inbound from technical founders rather than a top-of-funnel spray strategy.

Moxxie raised a $25M Fund I in 2020, followed by a $50M Fund II in 2022, both anchored by LPs such as Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Sapphire Partners, and Global Endowment Management. In 2024 the firm began raising a $75M Fund III.
