Overview

Primary Venture Partners is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in New York City, founded in 2015 by Ben Sun and Brad Svrluga. The firm focuses on investing in and supporting seed-stage companies, primarily in the NYC area, with a high-conviction, low-volume approach. It provides significant hands-on support through its Portfolio Impact team, which assists with hiring, customer acquisition, and strategy. The firm's investment sectors include Enterprise SaaS, Fintech, Healthcare, Consumer, and Infrastructure & Cyber. In September 2022, Primary announced it had raised $425 million across two new funds: a $275 million fourth seed fund and a $150 million select fund for later-stage investments in its portfolio companies.
