ResilienceVC

ResilienceVC is a venture firm investing in fintech startups that build resilience for users and deliver returns for investors.

We invest in seed-stage embedded fintech startups in the United States, where fintech integrated into core services and channels drives business growth and plays a key role in helping American consumers and small businesses thrive.

Our Approach

We have a decade of experience in seed stage fintech investing and have supported over 75 startups. We use our extensive knowledge of the industry and early stage investing to identify and support the next generation of resilient fintech entrepreneurs. Our goal is to be among the first institutional partners for these companies, leading or taking significant positions in seed rounds. We have deep conviction in our portfolio companies and their founders, often taking board or observer seats to help them build strong governance and closely collaborate with them on fundraising, strategy, operations, and talent to drive business growth and resilience for end users.

Resilience is the ability to withstand and grow through adversity. It is fundamental to everything we do.

Resilience defines us and our approach as investors.

We have invested in and supported companies through multiple market cycles, through recessions and pandemics and endless challenges. We know what it takes to build and scale truly resilient startups.

Resilience is what we seek and help build in our entrepreneurs.

We look for founders who have a deep understanding of their customers and their customers’ needs, founders who are committed to building diverse and inclusive teams, and founders who can effectively lead through the inevitable turbulence of startups.

Resilience is our core impact goal.

We support startups that empower all Americans to build the financial resilience they need to thrive. The companies we invest in make financial tools relevant, affordable, and useful for their customers by focusing on three elements of financial resilience
