Investment Thesis

Behind Genius Ventures invests in the best technical storytellers at preseed and seed stages, believing deeply in the power of storytelling and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively. Their founding partner Paige Finn Doherty’s background as both an engineer and writer—including authoring a children’s book about venture capital—fundamentally shapes their conviction that great founders can articulate their vision clearly. The firm emphasizes hands-on, founder-friendly investing with deep operational support.
