Tectonic Ventures

Tectonic Ventures is a venture capital firm that partners with entrepreneurs solving business problems through technology. It aims to join teams at the first spark of an idea, sometimes before a company exists, and stays involved as they grow. The team works together across all portfolio companies rather than leaving each deal to one person.

What Tectonic Ventures offers

• Investing — initial capital for mission-driven founders, with further support later.
• Mentoring — advice from partners who have started and run companies themselves.
• Accelerating — introductions to partners, collaborators and markets that might otherwise be hard to reach.
• Experts in residence — operators with experience in marketplaces, robotics, commerce and Latin America.

Who it works with

The firm looks for enterprise-focused startups building networks, data and platforms with lasting value. Its advisers include academics and former executives from finance and technology.
