Human Ventures is a business creation platform that operates as both an early-stage venture capital fund and startup studio founded in 2015 in New York City. The firm takes a human-first approach to investing, focusing on backing and building companies in the Human Needs Economy. Human Ventures has three key components: (1) a venture studio that co-builds companies from scratch, (2) a pre-seed/seed venture fund investing in early-stage companies, and (3) Humans in the Wild, a 100-day no-equity cohort-based incubation program for experienced entrepreneurs. The firm partners with founders at the earliest stages, providing hands-on support including business design, product development, go-to-market strategy, fundraising assistance, and access to an extensive network. Human Ventures maintains a 15,000 square foot studio space in Manhattan and offers in-house teams supporting finance, legal, product, engineering, design, communications, and people operations. More than half of Human-backed founders are women, reflecting the firm's commitment to supporting diverse entrepreneurs who embody the diversity, resilience, and ambition of New York.
