Fortify Ventures

Fortify Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage companies aiming to disrupt the status quo in human health, the future of work, and infrastructure. The firm operates on the belief that together, we are better, and extends its reach far beyond capital, offering a network of operators, thinkers, executors, and change-makers aligned on a mission to move us one step closer to tomorrow’s world. With over 13 years active, Fortify Ventures has made more than 37 investments and achieved over 9 successful exits, leveraging over 100 years of combined experience.

The firm's investment strategy is centered around a broad thesis that allows them to see a wide variety of companies and pick those with the greatest potential for global impact, led by the best founders. They typically write $100K - $2M first checks into pre-Series A rounds and are comfortable either leading or participating. Fortify Ventures focuses on companies that are tackling human health, the future of work, and infrastructure, including energy, cybersecurity, defense, and manufacturing. They prefer companies competing in mature markets and value teams with complementary and supplementary superpowers, seeking resilient and brilliant teams that have the qualities needed to succeed as entrepreneurs and creators.

Fortify Ventures' approach is rooted in a singular focus: delivering exceptional value. Unlike many firms driven by volume, they prioritize quality, precision, and long-term impact in every engagement. Their team takes the time to deeply understand each business, aligning strategies with unique goals to ensure meaningful outcomes. In M&A, this means crafting deals that don’t just close but aim for maximum value and terms from the best possible fit. With Fortify Ventures, companies are not just a project or a transaction; they are partners in building a strong and resilient future.
