VC firm for Big ideas

Mischief is a venture firm based in San Francisco, investing $1-5m in early stage software companies. We lead rounds and have a meaningful stake in every company we back, so every company in our portfolio is incredibly important to our outcomes.

Mischief is the firm we always wanted on our own cap tables: a collection of founders whose diverse experiences enable us to empathize with and collaborate on the challenges early-stage founders encounter. Whatever issue you're facing, one of us has likely been there before.

We are generalists – we've successfully built companies in many different industries and know every market has its season - from healthcare to climate to consumer marketplaces to crypto we have done it all.

Our partnership is intentionally small: just four partners, working as one, alongside our founders. There are no junior investors between us and the founders we work with. We bring our own experiences drawn from raising a collective $1.5B in venture capital, hiring 1000+ executives, and generating over $1B in revenue ourselves.
