Description

Quotidian Ventures is a New York City-based first-check venture capital firm. Established with a clear mandate, the firm specializes in partnering with early-stage founders who are leveraging software to disrupt and transform large, established industries. Their investment thesis centers on identifying visionary entrepreneurs at the pre-seed and seed stages, providing the crucial initial capital needed to build foundational technologies and scale their operations. The firm's focus is on high-potential software solutions that promise to revolutionize sectors often considered resistant to technological change.

As a "first-check" investor, Quotidian Ventures plays a pivotal role in the nascent stages of a startup's journey. The firm typically deploys initial investments ranging from $500,000 to $1.5 million, demonstrating a commitment to providing substantial early funding that can significantly impact a company's trajectory. This strategic approach allows them to secure meaningful ownership stakes and work closely with founders as they navigate product development, market entry, and initial growth.

Quotidian Ventures recently reinforced its capacity to support promising startups with the closing of its third fund, Quotidian Ventures Fund III, which secured $25 million in 2022. This capital enables the firm to continue its mission of backing innovative software companies and potentially participate in follow-on rounds. Beyond capital, Quotidian Ventures emphasizes a hands-on, partnership-driven approach, offering strategic guidance, operational support, and access to their network to help portfolio companies achieve their milestones. Their long-term vision is to foster the growth of companies that not only achieve significant financial returns but also drive meaningful technological advancement across diverse industries.
