Exponent is a $125m early stage Software and Fintech focused fund.
We're based out of NYC and we've been among the first builders, advisors, and investors behind companies such as Plaid, Ramp, Robinhood, Alloy, Chronosphere, Stytch, Apollo, and many more.
We are proudly backed primarily by non-profit endowments and hospitals, as well as 50 public and private unicorn founders and operators.

What We Do: We invest $0.5 - 5 million at the early stages of company building
We strive to partner with opinionated, outlier founders with deep experience building for their customers in markets experiencing transformation.
We take a thematic market and customer driven approach towards investing and partnership - we care deeply about who we're building for and the magic it can create.
We invest across vertical AI, fintech and payments, infrastructure, security, app software, vertical software, and more to transform the experience for the end customer.
We invest across the US, Europe, and Canada.
Our Approach: We are maniacal about helping you win with your product, with your customers, and your market
We open up our entire network and ecosystem to support our founders with design customers, early hires, tactical advice, and much more.
We provide a sounding board for founders with strong opinions and approach problems together from a first principled basis.
We help our founders and their teams navigate through the highs and lows of building companies from the earliest stages all the way through IPO and beyond.
