Investment Thesis

Incisive Ventures backs B2B software founders who solve previously impossible problems by reducing friction at scale. After 20 years and 300+ investments, Martin Tobias (solo GP) focuses on pre-seed investing as fundamentally about people and pattern recognition rather than spreadsheets—identifying founders who have viscerally lived their problem paired with technical builders who can ship. The firm believes AI applications, not infrastructure, will capture the majority of value creation.
