What Is Heavybit?

Heavybit is a venture capital firm and the premiere investor in enterprise infrastructure from the earliest stages. We invest in a different kind of founder: The kind with a unique vision to redefine how teams build, deploy, secure, and scale software. Since 2013, we've continuously launched and scaled 80+ Pre-Seed to Series A startups with hard-won insights and comprehensive, bespoke coaching that leads companies to breakout success. Heavybit and its portfolio companies build the future of technology from the bottom up to the top down.

What Types of Companies Do You Invest in?

We invest in founders seeking a different kind of dollar who build category-defining enterprise infrastructure. We invest in traditional software tools for engineering teams, AI, cloud-native infrastructure, open source, DevOps, and DevSecOps, among others. Heavybit offers hands-on, always-on support in a team-based structured setting, as well as a platform tailored to your specific needs. Heavybit's support network incorporates our unique partnership, an active community of 1,000+ domain-specific advisors, and fellow Heavybit startup founders. We’ve worked with founders in 15 countries and 47 cities.

When Should I Contact You?

It’s never too early to talk to us. We love to invest on day 0 with the first check but also join companies throughout their early-stage journey.
