We back founders before the world notices
At Tetrad VC, we support founders early - at pre-seed and seed - when the vision is there but the path is still taking shape. Whether you’re building your first prototype or starting to scale your user base, we’re here to help turn early momentum into growth.
We’ve just started, but we’re not new to the game. If you’re building something ambitious and still in the early stages, let’s talk.
Founders
ourselves
We’ve built startups like ZERO10, Wayvee, and more - from scratch. We know the pressure. We’re here to back you.
Built to move
fast
We’re a small, flexible team - no layers, no slow decision-making. The world moves quickly, and so do we. Our process is straightforward and responsive to keep momentum going.
Beyond the
check
We don’t just write a check and disappear. We’re here to offer perspective - from product to sales - from people who’ve actually been there.
Early Stage Focus
Backing startups early
We step in when it starts with an idea, the product’s still forming, and belief matters most.
Focus Areas
Betting on what’s next
We back startups building in fast-moving, high-potential spaces. If you’re pushing into something new or reshaping what already exists, we’re interested.

What we look for
We don’t believe in checklists, but here’s what usually gets our attention:
- Founders who’ve built before - or learned fast from trying
- A clear tech backbone (we back builders, not buzzwords)
- Full-time commitment and full-send energy
- A big idea with a real reason to exist
- Early signs of something clicking - users, insight, momentum
