Thesis
Notation Capital is a pre-seed and seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2015 and based in Brooklyn, New York. The firm specializes in backing technical founding teams at the earliest stages, often at the 'Day 0' or idea stage, with a focus on partnering with 'product-obsessed founders' aiming to create fundamentally new customer experiences. While not strictly thesis-driven, they invest in evolving categories of interest and emphasize founders with an 'enduring will to bring interesting and innovative projects to life.' Notation Capital typically leads the first round of financing, with initial investments ranging from $100,000 to $200,000, and up to $750,000 for initial financing rounds, aiming to be the first check in rounds under $1 million. Their geographic focus is primarily the New York City area, though they consider other locations. The firm manages approximately $150 million in AUM across multiple funds, with Notation III closing at $42 million in July 2020. They provide capital, resources, and mentorship to foster founder success.
