NFX

In 2015, three experienced entrepreneurs - Gigi Levy-Weiss, Pete Flint, and James Currier - realized something fundamental about venture capital: the people best equipped to guide early-stage founders were those who had built companies themselves. After founding and scaling 10 companies across multiple industries, they understood the unique challenges pre-seed and seed-stage founders face. So they created NFX, a venture firm built by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, specifically designed to support exceptional founders building market-transforming companies.

The firm was born from the insight that network effects are the key driver of startup defensibility and value creation. Today, NFX has become a leading seed-stage VC firm with offices in San Francisco and Israel, managing hundreds of millions in assets. They've developed their own software tools to help founders raise capital more efficiently, created comprehensive educational resources through their NFX Masterclass and content library, and built a community of thousands of founders. The firm specializes in identifying and nurturing companies with strong network effects across sectors like biotechnology, gaming, fintech, and marketplaces, bringing decades of hands-on operating experience to help startups scale from seed to category leadership.
