About

2048 Ventures is a thesis-driven, earliest-stage venture capital firm founded in 2019 by Alex Iskold and Paul Sethi. The firm is dedicated to partnering with visionary founders who are building technologies of the future. With a team comprising experienced founders, operators, engineers, scientists, and dreamers, 2048 Ventures has backed over 200 startups across various industries, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, healthcare, machine learning, and SaaS.

The firm focuses on leading pre-seed and seed rounds with high conviction, writing checks between $500K and $2M. Their investment thesis centers on the next generation of platforms with strong data moats—systems of record, infrastructure, and API companies across verticals. 2048 Ventures is based in New York City and Boston but is open to leading investments anywhere across North America.

The firm prides itself on a transparent and efficient investment process, committing to lead within 10-15 business days of the first meeting and assisting founders in closing the rest of the round. They are particularly interested in mission-driven teams with strong founder-market fit and a clear vision for the future.
