PSL Ventures

PSL Ventures is a venture capital fund that backs early-stage technology companies, mostly in the Pacific Northwest. Its partners are largely former founders and operators, and the fund describes itself as a generalist tech investor.

What PSL Ventures offers

• Pre-seed, seed and Series A funding — it leads, co-leads or joins rounds at these stages.
• Founder support — access to the wider PSL network of executives, technologists, designers, data scientists and growth specialists.
• Studio resources — portfolio companies can draw on PSL Studio, a separate entity with overlapping leadership and support teams.

Who it works with

Technology-driven startups at very early stages, with a focus on the Pacific Northwest. It rarely invests outside the region and avoids pure biotech, energy and pharma. A company does not need any link to PSL Studio to receive investment.
