January Ventures
VC Fund
Boston, United States
January Ventures is a VC fund focused on angel/pre-seed in the US & Europe. We are replacing the friends & family round and re-writing the networks in venture.We invest early and opens doors for the visionary founders of the future. We believe the founders of the next decade will look fundamentally different: more female, morediverse and more distributed. Our firm is built on the principles of transparency and access, and we back founders based on their tenacity and ambition, not their pedigrees or who they know. January Ventures was founded in 2018 and is based in Boston, MA and London, UK.
