Abstract Ventures

Abstract Ventures, now trading as Abstract, is a venture capital firm based in San Francisco. It describes itself as sector-agnostic, backing companies at the seed and early stages of their development rather than concentrating on a single industry. Its reputation among the founders it works with is built, in its own description, on loyalty to the companies it backs, on the connections it can offer them, and on a persistent effort to help them succeed as they grow. Rather than specialising narrowly in one sector, the firm positions itself as a generalist investor, applying its focus on identifying early-stage opportunities across a range of different industries and business models, and working closely with founders from a company's earliest stages through its later growth.
