Badhouse Ventures is a nano VC firm that fills the pre-seed funding gap by providing first-check capital to early-stage founders with beta-version products ready to build full-time. As former startup operators, they adopt a hands-on, long-term mentorship approach, positioning themselves almost as ‘minority co-founders’ through unstructured mentorship, test-and-learn collaboration, and active operational support. They believe in supporting ambitious but humble founding teams through both financial and intangible resources to help them reach product/market fit and prepare for seed funding rounds.
