most founders don’t need a cofounder. they need clarity, a shipping mindset, and 12 months of runway. we back solo builders from day zero. pitch us. #founderfirst #vc #startups #16vc
family offices. angels. fund of funds. we’re raising global capital to deploy across the next 100 solo & underestimated founders. reach out. let’s build this together. #vc #globalvc #lps #familyoffices #16vc
dear founders: don’t pitch your product. pitch your point of view. your belief system is your moat. we invest in bold thinkers. #vc #startups #preseed #16vc
investing in the overlooked will outperform betting on the overhyped. i’d rather back the kid from lagos than chase the kid from stanford. distribution > degrees. #vc #emergingmarkets #founderfirst #16vc
bangalore to berlin. jakarta to johannesburg. miami to madrid. capital is borderless. talent already is. we’re building the most global early-stage vc fund from day zero. #globalvc #crossborder #startups #16vc
your startup isn’t too early. your story just isn’t clear enough. fix your narrative → get the right partner → raise with ease. we help with that. #vc #pitchdeck #founderfirst #16vc
hosting a small founder dinner in bengaluru next weekend — 10 early-stage builders, good food, real convos. no pitches, just people building cool stuff. drop a reply if you're around — will share details soon. #bengaluru #startups #founders #vc #16vc
we’re not here to “pass” on founders. we’re here to find the ones no one else saw. before they blow up. #startups #vc #underestimated #globalvc #16vc
bad vc advice: – find a cofounder fast – raise from brand names – scale before you sell good advice: – own your story – don’t outsource your gut #startups #vc #founderfirst #16vc
dear family offices & lps — if you want exposure to solo & underestimated founders globally, let’s talk. we’re building something rare. #vc #globalvc #emergingmanagers #16vc
india is my base. but 16vc is not an india fund. we’re writing cheques in london, lagos, la, and latin america. #globalvc #vc #startups #crossborder #16vc
if you’re building from lagos, lahore, lisbon, or lucknow — don’t wait to be discovered. pitch us: 16vc.co #vc #crossborder #globalfounders #16vc
i failed 3 startups. no press, no exits, no fancy titles. but i know what being a founder feels like. that’s what i bring to 16vc. #startups #vc #founderjourney #16vc
the problem isn’t capital. the problem is capital that doesn’t believe in you. we exist to change that. #vc #globalvc #underestimated #founderfirst #16vc
most founders don’t need a cofounder. they need conviction, clarity, and 2 years of runway. we write $400k cheques at day zero. #vc #founderfirst #startups #solo #16vc
every global vc says they back “underestimated” founders. ask them to show their last 10 investments. we don’t tweet it. we wire it. #vc #globalvc #founderfirst #16vc
founders: don’t clean up your deck for us. send the real mess. we invest in honesty. not formatting. #vc #founderadvice #preseed #16vc
a 19-year-old founder in nairobi. a 38-year-old solo dev in tijuana. a 28-year-old mom in jaipur. this is who we invest in. pre-seed. pre-proof. post-pain. #founderfirst #vc #startups #16vc
dear lps: we’re not chasing top quartile. we’re chasing breakout founders in ignored corners. we’ll get the returns. but we’ll earn the right first. let’s talk. #venturecapital #lps #emergingmanagers #16vc
solo gpsy. one founder in bangalore. one pr lead in spain. one community lead in turkey. building a global fund in silence. slow. gritty. distributed. #vc #remotefirst #globalvc #16vc
