Mischief is a venture firm based in San Francisco, investing $1-5M in early stage software companies.

Mischief is the firm we always wanted on our own cap tables: a collection of operators whose diverse experiences enable us to empathize with and collaborate on the challenges early-stage founders face. 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. We bring our own experiences drawn from raising a collective $1B in venture capital, hiring 1000+ executives, and generating over $1B in revenue to every investment.

We are. . .
