Investment Thesis

unbundled vc (Marc Cohen) targets Europe-based, early-stage software and AI founders who are focused on achieving venture-scale outcomes by winning the US market. He prioritises large markets and product edges buyers care about because “Venture returns are driven by outliers and how big they are,” and believes the US is disproportionately important (“The US is 10-20x larger than most domestic European markets”). He invests at pre-seed and seed (often alongside a lead), moves quickly, and leverages his US network to provide warm introductions to the right US VCs. His background as a trader and two-time AI founder shapes a risk-reward, expected-return mindset: “I think in terms of risk-reward and maximising expected return.”

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

unbundled vc is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed and Seed rounds in AI/ML and Enterprise SaaS, especially across Europe and United States.

Focus statement

Invests in Europe-based early-stage software and AI founders who are "laser-focused on winning the US market," primarily at pre-seed and seed stages and often alongside a lead investor, with support via US network introductions.

Value Add

Explicit geographic + go-to-market constraint: only founders serious about the US as primary market ("If you’re not serious about the US as your primary market, I’m not for you.")
Founder background in AI and quantitative trading (two-time AI founder and professional trader) informing a risk-reward, expected-return approach
Fast, founder-friendly process with clear timing (promises to reply before he goes to bed two business days later) and preference for founders' own narrative over heavily pre-screened decks
Practical help beyond capital: warm intros to US VCs and an emphasis on helping founders raise the next round
Transparency and openness: commits to being as open as possible about activities and building a brand to generate deal flow
Public commitments to founder wellbeing (signed the Founder Mental Health Pledge) and founder-focused resources (Ask Marc Anything, curated startup guides)
