Beta Boom is a pre-seed fund investing in founders who do not fit the Silicon Valley founder profile. We love founders who feel like they are ignored by other VCs--those based outside of Silicon Valley, founders from non-Ivy League schools, founders with diverse lived and professional experiences, single founders, older founders, underrepresentedfounders, non-technical founders, etc.We lead pre-seed rounds for startups building solutions in Digital Health, FinTech, Cybersecurity, Enterprise, SMB SaaS, Future of Work, and other verticals. We are often the first check or even the only check in a pre-seed round, and our post-investment support is legendary. They have an open-application process and respond to all submissions: https://betaboom.com/apply/. Investment criteria here: https://betaboom.com/investment-criteria/
