Dash Fund is a NY and SF-based seed fund investing in category-defining FinTech founders. We raised a $3.3m proof of concept fund in 2020 and are actively investing out of a $21m second fund. We strive to be the smartest and highest-signal FinTech investor on early stage cap tables.

We apply a thematic approach to FinTech investing; Dash focuses entirely on businesses where the steady state “unit of value” lies in a core software – not commodity financial – product. We instead view financial products as a powerful enabling mechanism in service of best-in-class software. We rely on our core frameworks to identify founders predisposed to building this style of business.

Our focused approach allows us to offer a unique product to founders – one where Dash de-risks the next funding round(s) with our downstream signal.
