Investment Thesis

Visible Hands invests in visionary founders before the crowd recognizes their potential, with a specific focus on underrepresented populations including women, people of color, and other overlooked founders. They believe that founders who have faced institutional barriers possess unique entrepreneurial resilience and learning that translates to exceptional returns. Their approach is explicitly equity-focused, designed to prevent founder over-dilution in future rounds and to recognize that diverse teams and resilient founders drive superior performance.
