Our Approach

How does Median invest?

We back highly ambitious founders building at the frontier. We actively seek technical risk and make first investments of $1M to $10M. There is no point we consider too early.

We start at -1

We back founders pre-traction, pre-product, and even pre-idea. Whether you know what you're building or are still searching, we have capital ready to support.

We focus on talent

Our investors are former founders, engineers, and operators, and all our founders become part of the most talent-dense community in early stage startups.

We partner past 0

We are not just -1 to 0, pre-idea investors. We also invest at Seed+ and typically remain the most involved investor on a company's cap table well into later stages.
