**We lead the first round in AI native software startups at the very start and aim to be their first and most impactful early investor.

That’s all we do to do it best.**

</aside>

How to think of us:

• We get involved from the very start and thrive where others say “too early”. Meaning: We often get involved ahead of your first line of code or your startup even being incorporated.
• We are true stage specialists who exclusively lead / co-lead your first round (pre-seed / inception round) with $500K - $1M.
• We bring best-in-class network and expertise with us to help strong technical founders nail their GTM from Day 1 incl. the 200+ GTM leaders at some of the fastest growing startups that are part of The GTM Circle we run.

How to best engage with us

We DO NOT need for your idea to be fully baked yet - we spend our time daily with founders during the ideation stage.

Please reach out for any of the following reasons - you:

1. Input: Can’t stop thinking about an idea and would like our feedback, even if you haven’t gone all in yet.

2. Initial funding: Have a specific idea and seek initial funding of up to $1M from us.

3. Founder residency: Join our founder residency in Miami this winter where you get all the benefits of a top accelerator (incl. mentorship by unicorn founders) WITHOUT suffering the heavy dilution: focal.vc/residency (apply before Dec 14th, 2025)

   

We’re excited to hear from you for any and all of the reasons above: [email protected] | [email protected]
