From 0 to 1,
and 1 to 100.

Idea

You have a thesis and a team. We have capital and a studio. Let's start.

02

03

Product-Market Fit

Retention tells the truth. We help you understand the pattern and position around it.

04

Traction

The hard part was building. Now it's about connecting. We bring the network.

05

Scale

Startup phase is over. Now you're building an organization. We help with that.

What Partners Say

Trusted by the
builders we back.

Working with Funders VC has been a great experience for our team. They have become not only our investor, but also a client of Liqvid and a partner in organising events for capital allocators. Their hands-on approach, strong network, and deep market understanding make them a truly valuable partner beyond capital.

Denis Polulyakhov
Co-founder, Liqvid

I was fortunate early in my journey to meet the Funders VC team, who not only invested but also helped us structure our round and acquire our first clients.
