Investment Thesis

Duro VC invests in passionate founding teams building scalable software products with strong personal solution-needs. As a collective of founders-turned-investors, they take a hands-on approach to supporting portfolio companies by opening their networks for hiring, fundraising, partnerships and advice during critical moments. They focus on ‘defining companies’ that demonstrate clear product-market fit and proven business models, often alongside top-tier VCs and angels.

What Sets Them Apart

Founder-led team: All investment partners are founders and operators themselves (3x, 2x founders on team)
Hands-on support: Unlike most VCs, they explicitly state they help portfolio companies 'as much as we can' and open networks to portfolio companies
Hands-off governance: They take a 'hands-off approach' and do not take board seats, providing strategic flexibility
Access to top networks: Invested alongside Sequoia, A16Z, Lightspeed, and angels like Sam Altman, Naval Ravikant, Mark Cuban
Track record of defining companies: Portfolio includes Notion, Airtable, Discord, AngelList, Turing, and 100+ YC companies
Flexible investment access: Offer both fund and deal-by-deal syndicate options with low minimums for accredited investors
