1984 Ventures

Quick read

1984 Ventures is a pre-seed and seed-stage VC firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA. The firm backs founders building B2B software in 'unsexy' industries — logistics, real estate, healthcare, fintech — deliberately avoiding hype-driven sectors. With $200M AUM across three funds and 83+ portfolio companies, it writes checks up to $1M, skips board seats, and aims to get founders a decision within a week.
