Investment Strategy

Summary

Union Square Ventures is a small collegial partnership that manages $1B across six funds. Our portfolio companies create services that have the potential to fundamentally transform important markets. We founded Union Square Ventures in 2003 to invest in the applications layer of the web. Over the last seven years, we have refined that investment focus. We now invest almost exclusively in Internet services that create large networks.

Union Square Ventures has always been a “thesis” driven firm. We maintain specific principles about the internet that guide our investment decisions. While other things like stage and to a lesser extent geography, also matter, our thesis or point of view is the primary thing that guides our decision making.
