Frequently asked questions
What investment stages does Phase 1 Ventures target?
Phase 1 Ventures invests primarily at the seed and Series A stages. The firm targets technical founders building in enterprise software, AI/ML, digital health, cybersecurity, and industrial technology. Check sizes are not publicly disclosed, but the stage focus aligns with early institutional entry points where the firm can serve as a lead or co-lead investor.
Which geographic regions does Phase 1 Ventures focus on?
Phase 1 Ventures invests across the United States, with an emphasis on companies and founders located in or near its four office regions: the Northeast corridor (New Brunswick, Philadelphia), the Texas triangle (Houston), and the Southeast (Boca Raton). The firm's model is built on sourcing from university and industrial clusters in these secondary markets rather than competing for deals in Silicon Valley or New York.
What sectors does Phase 1 Ventures explicitly avoid?
Phase 1 Ventures has not published an explicit avoid list. Based on its stated focus areas — enterprise software, AI/ML, digital health, cybersecurity, and industrial tech — the firm does not appear to target consumer internet, media, entertainment, or capital-intensive hard-tech sectors such as semiconductors or aerospace. The portfolio concentration remains on B2B software and tech-enabled services.
