Trust Fund

Venture capital

trustfund.vcTakes pitches from founders

Trust Fund is an early-stage venture fund that invests in tech-enabled products helping people start and build businesses. It writes $150,000 to $300,000 checks into pre-seed and seed companies, does not lead rounds, and does not take board seats.

Trust Fund lists 47 checked portfolio companies on its own site and is named in 15 funding rounds, 1 of them as lead. Its most frequent entry is Series A, 43% of the companies with a known first round. Its largest themes are Fintech (21%), Healthcare & Biotech (17%) and AI & Machine Learning (11%). 90% of its companies are based in United States. It invests most often alongside Shrug Capital, Mantis Venture Capital and General Catalyst.

Counts come from funding rounds that name Trust Fund, complete from mid-2025: earlier rounds appear only when they were reported later. Round amounts and full round histories are on Fundup AI.

Round figures show recent activity, not Trust Fund's whole history. Rounds on record name 14 companies; its own site lists 47. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

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.
