Duro VC invests in companies from pre-seed through pre-IPO. Our investment team comes from diverse backgrounds and are founders and operators. We've deployed over $110M in defining companies.

Our investments include Turing, Notion, Airtable, Consensys, Epic, Recall.ai, Bland.ai, AngelList, Discord, Branch, Ashby, Nuvocargo, Truebill, Rescale, Scenario, Clicoh and 100+ YC companies.
We invest in passionate teams building scalable software products
We look for passionate, often second-time founders who are solving a problem for which they have a strong personal solution-need. While we have made a good number of bets on AI companies (and will continue to do so), we also invest in - what some people would call "traditional" - companies building SaaS, DevTools and Open Source products. While we invest in nearly every stage of a company, we focus on companies that are in-revenue raising a Seed or Series-A and have a strong lead in their round.
Unique acces and top tier VCs
Through our network of founders, our positive reviews on Bookface (Y Combinators's intranet), and our network among many of the leading VCs, we have access to great companies and fast moving deals. We've invested alongside Sequoia, A16Z, Lightspeed, Craft, Khosla, Founders Fund, Signalfire and many well known angels including Sam Altman, Naval Ravikant, Mark Cuban, and Chris Sacca.
Our team is a collective of founders turned investors
We’ve collectively raised & deployed over $110M+ for 225+ startups. As former founders, we are helpful in peak moments and will open up our networks to you for hiring, fundraising, partnerships and advice.
