PSL Ventures invests in founders with passion and heart, building tech-driven, industry-shaping businesses. As founders themselves who have built market-defining companies, the team is ‘addicted to helping other exceptional founders do the same.’ Their approach emphasizes understanding each entrepreneur’s distinct qualities and superpowers, then assembling the perfect supporting team to create world-changing companies. The investment thesis is fundamentally founder-centric, recognizing that great companies require extraordinary people combined with smart capital.
