Investing in Winners

We are an expansion-stage venture capital firm investing in hypergrowth, breakout companies across leading venture sectors, backed by top-tier venture capital funds.

“I have worked with the PROOF team since they formed a decade ago. By teaming with original early-stage managers like Frontier Venture Capital, PROOF is able to find the best follow-on investments, while providing the original managers with continued participation and upside. The model continues to be a win-win, and it’s great working with the experienced team at PROOF."

David Cremin

Founder and Managing Partner, Frontier Venture Capital

Trusted Partners

We partner with seed and early-stage venture capital funds to maximize the upside of their top performing companies by utilizing their pro rata rights (anti-dilution rights). Our venture capital partners share our economics and maintain their influence on the board.

“PROOF has been a terrific partner on every company I share with them, whether they invest or not. They are experienced, straightforward, transparent, and 100% trustworthy."

Premier Access for LPs

Through our co-investment platform, Limited Partners can co-invest alongside our firm through entities we manage, selectively increasing exposure to high-conviction opportunities.

“When we want to double down on our highest-performing companies, PROOF is one of our first calls. They show up with a prepared mind, sharp insight, and a founder-first approach that strengthens every round. They’ve been an exceptional co-invest partner, and we look forward to building many more wins together.”
