Avid Ventures
Venture capital · New York, NY, United States · North America
Avid Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in startups, often at the earliest stages before founders have incorporated or landed a first design partner. The firm describes itself as staying small so that the partner a founder meets is the same person who supports them through hiring, customer introductions and late-night calls.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
