Overview

186 Ventures is a pre-seed & seed stage venture capital firm based in Boston investing thematically across software sectors. They bring full operational and strategic support and an unparalleled network to founders when they need it most– at the beginning. They focus primarily on the Northeast of the US, although they have already demonstrated an ability to deploy into high growth startups in San Francisco, LA, and other select US cities. 186 Ventures raised its first fund during the Fall of 2021 after the founders of the firm, Giuseppe Stuto & Julian Fialkow, built an angel portfolio of 32 early stage technology companies.
