Principles

A multidisciplinary firm

Polymath Capital is a venture capital firm that invests in pre-seed and seed stage companies with an emphasis on community, longevity, and financial democratization. As an operator-led firm, we partner with ambitious founders to build the next generation of market-changing companies.

We know it takes a village to start a company. The term "polymath" was first used in 1603 to describe a person with knowledge of various matters, drawn from different areas of study. We've built a diverse network to provide portfolio companies with the village of knowledge and expertise they need to succeed.

Polymath is typically one of the first venture capital investors a company interacts with. Whether we're helping a company incorporate or sourcing their first engineer, we're interacting with our portfolio companies long before we make our first investment. We take a deep dive into a company's product, mission, and vision early on and aim to provide value pre- and post-investment through our multidisciplinary approach.

If you are one of those daring founders who share our principles, we would like to talk to you.
