NFX invests in founders who see things others do not—the visionaries and anti-normal builders. As founders themselves who built 10 companies with over $10 billion in exits, they invest in transforming fearless founders into elite leaders. Their approach emphasizes backing the best founders first and fast, then helping them get it right fast and raise their next round fast. They focus primarily on the founding team and market opportunity when making investment decisions.
