02Supporting Uniquely Qualified Visionaries

Most VCs simply make intros into their networks. Underscore goes a step further by financially investing in their Core Community advisors so they take helping you seriously - It makes all the difference.

Co-Founder, Salsify

Underscore has been incredibly valuable in helping us navigate the ups and downs of running a startup. Not only are they fun to work with but they’ve also invested the time to understand our business.

Co-Founder & CEO, Arwen

Unlike other VCs, Underscore has built its operating model on the knowledge that moonshots are only accomplished through a communal effort of shared responsibility.

Underscore is a hands-on early stage investor that truly acts as a trusted partner to startups. We love how their Core Community surrounds us with the resources we need to build our business.

Underscore is more than an investor - They're an extension of our team, actively working with our fast-growing company to refine our strategy and unlock the next level of customer growth.

Mark Gally
CEO, Zaius

Underscore is a partner in the truest sense of the word. And they’re focused on where the puck is going, not where it’s been - those are the people we want as partners.

About Underscore

03Empowered by an Expert Community

It Takes a Community

The Underscore Core is an extraordinary community of several hundred proven entrepreneurs, business builders, and domain experts in Boston and beyond. Through the Core, founders receive the benefits of the right expertise, from the right people, at the right time - all on Underscore’s dime.

The Core has given me a way to give back to the Boston community that has supported me for many years. It's been fantastic to meet with new founders, help where I can, and be inspired along the way.

Product Manager, Drift

04Our Vision, Mission, and Values

Changing Venture For Good

We’re on a mission to change venture for good. We recognize that today capital is a commodity - however, your life isn’t. So we’ve rewritten the rules of VC with a differentiated venture model that aligns founders with an expert Core community, and provides you with dynamic capital from socially responsible LPs - because some money is in fact greener.
