Foothill Ventures is a technology-focused venture fund based in Los Altos, California. We make pre-seed, seed (preferred), and A-round investments in startups across software, life science, and deep tech. We like strong technical founders, and we have had great success betting on immigrant founders, female founders, and PhD founders. We grew out of the TEEC Angel Fund, which made seed-stage, highly successful bets on companies like Zoom Communications, Quanergy, Iterable, Carta, Plus.ai, Opentrons, WeRide.ai and Ginkgo Bioworks, all subsequent Unicorns.
