Avid Ventures
No summary available yet.
Avid is the rare fund that actually understands what technical founders need - they've been there themselves. Tomer built Gusto from scratch and Shaun has serious technical chops from his quantum computing background and Sequoia experience. They're genuinely helpful on go-to-market for founders who can build great products but struggle with sales and marketing. Portfolio companies consistently praise their operational support. The downside? They're still relatively new as a fund, so their network isn't as deep as established players, and they can be selective to a fault.
- —Best for: Technical founders who need go-to-market help
- —Known for: Hands-on operational support and B2B expertise
- —Watch out for: Smaller network compared to top-tier funds
