OUR TEAM
Mischief is a venture firm based in San Francisco, investing $1-5m in early stage technology 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.
"The Mischief team have all built big businesses themselves, so it's not like talking to any other VC. They're super helpful in anything big or small when I need a sounding board. And it's just fun to work with them!"
"The Mischief team has been an incredible partner to us. They're thoughtful on product, deeply connected, and always willing to roll up their sleeves when it matters."
"What sets Mischief apart is that they've actually built companies themselves. They understand the decisions founders are making because they've been in the seat, and they bring a level of product judgment and founder empathy that's hard to find."
