Position A Partners

Position A Partners

Position A Partners operates from Ross, California, deploying capital across pre-seed, seed, and early-stage growth rounds. The firm launched its second fund, Position A Partners II, in 2022, closing on $105 million according to an SEC filing. Managing Partners Mike Furlong and Jim Morrison anchor the investment team, drawing on direct operator experience — Morrison co-founded and sold two venture-backed companies before transitioning to institutional investing. The strategy centers on company formation and very early-stage technology investing, with capital reserved for follow-on growth rounds. The portfolio spans enterprise software, fintech, and infrastructure, with confirmed positions including Front, the customer communication platform, and Finch, the unified employment API. Position A typically writes initial checks between $500,000 and $2 million, often syndicating with seed-stage peers in the Bay Area ecosystem. The firm favors founders building workflow software, developer tools, and applied AI applications. Position A Partners II represents a step-function increase from the firm's debut vehicle, reflecting deepened LP relationships and a track record of early-stage wins. The firm maintains a lean operation with no publicly disclosed additional offices, concentrating its networks across San Francisco, New York, and emerging tech hubs. Philanthropic or adjacent vehicles have not been publicly announced. The structural differentiator lies in the partnership's operator-operator sourcing model. Both Furlong and Morrison entered venture capital after founding and exiting companies, giving them access to founder circles that institutional allocators often cannot replicate. This bottoms-up origination approach, combined with a disciplined reserve strategy for follow-on capital, positions the firm as a concentrated early-stage specialist rather than a generalist platform.
