Jane VC

January Ventures (previously known as Jane VC) invests early and opens doors for the visionary founders of the future. We invest in the US and Europe in pre-seed and seed stage tech companies. We believe the founders of the next decade will look fundamentally different: more female, more diverse and more distributed. We back founders based on their tenacity and ambition, not their pedigrees or who they know. Our vision is an equal opportunity tech ecosystem.
