We back the brilliant, the boundless, the brave.
-
The team behind Fortson VC has spent over two decades refining our craft as an elite seed stage investor in the PNW.
-
Entrepreneurs need authentic investors – investors they can trust and who embrace the opportunity to work alongside them as they overcome challenges. We believe that People are our greatest assets and that there is simply no substitute for integrity, creativity, and courage.
-
The Fortson team has been intentionally built to meet a specific profile. Our model is about talent density, highlighting quality over quantity. This allows exceptional people to create extraordinary value.
-
First and foremost, exceptional entrepreneurs reimagining what is possible…
That said, we are generalists intrigued by enterprise software, data enablement, infrastructure, AI-driven innovation, and solutions that elevate collaboration and productivity - primarily through a B2B lens.
