Chapters

Hi, I'm Charles Hudson, Founder and Managing Partner at Precursor Ventures and I wanted to give you a quick overview of how we invest at Hart. We are a pre seed investment firm that invests 250 to 500k checks into pre seed rounds of a million dollars or less. Typically those companies are raising that money because they're pre product, market fit, pre launch, or as we say here at Precursor, generally pre everything. Our goal with that round is to help a company go from 0 to 1 and get their product launched. In addition to our core investing in pre seed rounds, we will also selectively invest in seed rounds of 1 to 4 million dollars in size. Typically that happens when a company's raised to friends and family or a pre seed round that we weren't part of or if that 1 to 4 million dollar round is the company's first institutional round of capital. In addition, we focus primarily in North America, but will selectively invest in fintech companies around the globe. We are a sector agnostic generalist firm and will invest in just about anything other than companies that require a deep knowledge of science, biology, chemistry or other hard sciences.
