In our role as collaborative pre-seed and seed stage investors, we have a direct line of sight into the early stage fundraising markets and what it takes to build a strong company from the beginning. In our session, we’ll talk through early stage company building and how to set out for the 0 to 1 journey. That includes how to think about MVPs and early product, the bar you should have for initial hires, and how to embark on the first round of funding for your company. We’ll also share our perspective on the current state of the venture capital ecosystem at pre-seed and seed, and what it takes to raise a strong round in today’s environment.

BoxGroup
BoxGroup is an early stage venture fund that has spent the last 13 years investing in companies like Airtable, Plaid, Ramp, Ro, Warp, and more. We’re a team of nine generalist investors based across NYC and SF. We’re investing out of our fifth fund which we deploy into pre-seed and seed rounds and then continue to follow-on into future rounds. We usually write checks between $250K-$1M and help founders put rounds together.

Our goal at BoxGroup is to invest at the earliest stage. We look for entrepreneurs working at the beginning of movements in existing markets or new markets yet to be created and those with visions to create the next generation of category defining businesses.
