Craft Ventures

Operator-led

States it is a team of senior operators and investors with one goal, to help founders build great companies, and describes itself as designed by founders for founders.

Criteria: Publishes no stages, no check sizes, no fund size and no sector list. Portfolio examples on the site point towards cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, but the firm states no sector focus of its own.

What this means for your pitchWith nothing published, the operator bench is the entire proposition. Ask in the first call which operators would actually work with you and how often, because that is the only thing distinguishing this from any other cheque, and it is the one thing they are claiming.

Stages, check sizes, fund size and sector focus are not published by the firm.
