F&F Ventures

About

F&F Ventures is the investment arm of Founders & Funders, a San Francisco-based, relationship-driven venture community connecting entrepreneurs and investors across 12+ cities in the US and internationally. The firm backs consumer brands and the technology that supports them, sourcing deals through curated events and a global membership network rather than cold applications.

Investment Focus

F&F Ventures invests in consumer brands and ecommerce-enabling technology from pre-seed through Series A, prioritizing founders with early revenue or validated demand who can benefit from the firm's purchase-order financing, Founders & Funders network, and national VC co-investment relationships.

Fund I's broader sector coverage also spans B2B SaaS, artificial intelligence, and consumer goods.
