Fortify Ventures is a venture capital ecosystem, investing in early-stage founders disrupting the status quo. We place bets on amazing individuals and teams with unique superpowers, building innovative and disruptive technologies for human health, the future of work, and the infrastructure that powers them both. Our reach extends far beyond capital, uniting operators, thinkers, executors, and change-makers aligned on a mission to move us one step closer to tomorrow’s world. We operate on the belief that together, we are better.
Fortify is the principal organizer of Distilled Intelligence, managing every aspect of the event from company selection to attendee experience. DI is our primary sourcing engine—we write many of the Fund's initial checks into DI companies and build our co-investor network through the process. We do not make a profit or take equity for participation; our goal is to raise the tide for the entire ecosystem. By helping exceptional founders and investors connect, we hope to contribute to the ecosystem and build our own reputation as a leading early-stage fund.
