Introducing a $6M Strategic Partnership Fund
Today we introduce a $6 million Strategic Partnership Fund to support exceptional founders building transformative companies.
We believe the most enduring companies do more than improve existing systems. They expand what is possible, create lasting impact across society, and unlock entirely new markets.
The Strategic Partnership Fund reflects our commitment to supporting founders working at the frontier of science, health, marketing, consumer products, infrastructure, and other industries undergoing generational shifts.
We are particularly drawn to founders with deep personal understanding of the problems they are solving rather than those pursuing industries through a romanticized idea of what they represent. Many of the most important companies are built not from abstract market opportunities, but from firsthand experience, long-term conviction, and a genuine commitment to the industries they serve.
We believe exceptional founders can emerge from anywhere. Some of the most ambitious teams are overlooked because their backgrounds are unconventional, their markets appear too early, or their ideas do not fit traditional investment frameworks. We view these characteristics as opportunities rather than limitations.
Participating companies will continue to operate independently while working closely with Todd on shared initiatives and opportunities for long-term alignment.
Our objective is simple: help founders move faster on important problems.
Before formally launching the fund, we worked with several pre-seed companies to better understand how Todd could support founders building with emerging technologies. Those early collaborations helped shape the structure of the Strategic Partnership Fund and reinforced our belief that close partnership can accelerate breakthrough work.
The fund is expected to support only a small number of companies each year. We welcome founders from diverse backgrounds and disciplines across the seed stage, from solo founders pursuing an idea to teams with early traction.
If you are interested in exploring a partnership opportunity, we encourage you to reach out to Vincent Todd.
