VLU Ventures

About

For decades, the best venture firms have backed founders at the earliest stages — pre-revenue, pre-product, sometimes pre-idea.

VLU Ventures is a $10M pre-seed and seed fund. We write first checks of $100K–$500K into relentless technical founders building in AI, fintech and cybersecurity across Tel Aviv, New York and Miami.
