Scribble Ventures

Scribble Ventures invests in pre-seed and seed companies, sizing its cheque to match what each company needs rather than following a fixed formula. Its team, which includes people with backgrounds at OpenAI, Meta, Twitter and a16z, focuses on artificial-intelligence-native companies, assessing founders on their history, thinking and ability to reinvent or create markets. Investment decisions are usually made within one to two weeks of a first meeting, following further conversations with the wider team, and every partner needs to be convinced before an investment proceeds. After investing, the firm sets up a messaging channel with each founding team and says it remains closely involved through calls, in-person sessions and introductions within its network.
