Geek Ventures is an American venture fund that invests in pre-seed and seed startups with a focus on the US market and helps them further develop and grow in this market. The fund was launched in early December 2021 and has already invested in 7 companies, including the winners of previous USF pitches. The fund’s partners are actively looking for new companies for investment. The main selection criteria is the presence of minimal traction in the US market, clear issues and a growing market.
