Day One Ventures
Seed fund focused on founders building companies at the intersection of technology and purpose.
Day One punches above their weight class by getting into quality deals early, but they're still proving themselves as a fund. Masha is genuinely plugged into the ecosystem and will work hard for you, but the fund's relatively small size means limited follow-on capacity. They're great at spotting technical talent and have solid pattern recognition for B2B products that could scale, but don't expect massive check sizes or extensive operational support beyond strategic advice. Good first institutional money, especially if you're a technical founder who needs help thinking through go-to-market.
