How we invest

We work like an accelerator. Building with 150+ companies through Lyra Technologies has given us the data points to know what makes startups succeed. We invest early in ambitious founders and back them across four pillars: capital, network, distribution and talent.

01

Capital.

Fast seed checks on founder friendly terms, decided in days. And when you raise, we bring the VCs and angels who invest alongside us into your round.

02

Network.

An unfair network advantage: a live graph of 2,000+ founders, operators and investors across Silicon Valley. We make the intros that matter, when they matter.

03

Distribution.

When we back you, we talk about you. Not only across our own network, but to external audiences that make you go viral.

04

Talent.

A direct line to Lyra Technologies engineers shipping production code for YC and a16z startups, and vetted people when you hire.

Our network

Access to 2,000+ startups backed by Prod, Thiel, KP, Neo, YC, Sequoia, a16z, Accel, General Catalyst and Lightspeed.
