Bold Founders Building The Future
As early-stage investors, we don’t spend a lot of time trying to predict the future. We leave it to bold founders to envision the next generation of iconic software companies. That said, we don’t back companies or even ideas. We back people. People who are uniquely qualified and purposeful about solving impactful problems. That’s why it will always be about you. Just ask our founders.
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.
