Overview

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

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.
