SignalFire is a complete redesign of the modern venture firm based on years of careful study and development by a team of world class investors and engineers. The end result is a radically different tech enabled model that brings unparalleled firepower to solve the biggest entrepreneur pain points. We invest out of two funds (seed/small A) and a later stage fund for companies that have found strong traction and are "breaking out". Our distributed network approach provides expert advice from some of the world's best entrepreneurs, product & engineering leaders in virtually every key discipline and industry. We have developed a first of its kind centralized infrastructure to help with recruiting exceptional talent, business development, customer acquisition as well as educational & community events. We don’t follow the crowd, and almost always lead our investment rounds as the first institutional investors in exceptional companies.
