focal is an institutionally-backed, next-generation venture firm. Currently investing out of fund II (2025 vintage), we lead at the start, often pre-incorporation, with up to $1M. The next great venture firm won't just use AI. It will be AI-native from the ground up - seeing sooner, deciding faster, and building systems that compound across every founder, deal, and outcome. That's how a 5-person team beats a 50-person firm. We're building that firm. You'll own how it gets built.
