About

More than capital.
Built to be valuable.

MVP was built around a different measure of partnership, defined not only by the capital we invest, but by the value we create alongside founders. We earn our place on the cap table by showing up, doing the work, and being useful where it matters.

How we work

MVP’s Playbook.

01

Systematic Sourcing

MVP takes a systematic approach to sourcing, combining technology, data, and relationships to identify promising companies and founders early. This gives our team a broader view of emerging markets and helps us develop conviction before an opportunity reaches the wider venture ecosystem.

02

Co-Investment

MVP is designed to complement, not compete with, a company’s lead investor. We typically aim to be the second-largest check and do not require board seats, allowing us to focus on contributing where founders need us most rather than competing for ownership or control.

03

Value Add & Super Pro-Rata

The entire MVP team is dedicated to supporting portfolio companies beyond the investment. We’ve intentionally invested in the people and resources that allow us to work alongside founders on the challenges that can have a meaningful impact on their companies. We work hard to earn the right to invest in the next round - achieving super pro-rata more often than not.

Experience that shapes our approach

We’ve sat on more than one side of the table.

Our team brings experience across investing, operating, company building, capital markets, talent, GTM, and government. That range shapes how we evaluate opportunities, work with founders, and navigate the decisions that come with scaling a company. We also were educated at the same universities that most of our portfolio founders were.
