Get in Touch

We invest in founders building the future of finance and vertical AI. Whether you're working on something exciting or just want to connect, we'd love to hear from you.

A note to founders

We've been founders ourselves. We remember the grind — pitching hundreds of investors, hearing "no" more than "yes," wondering if anyone actually gets it.

When we started Social Leverage, we committed to treating every founder the way we wished we'd been treated: responding quickly, being direct about our interest level, and helping even when we don't invest.

Warm introductions get priority and move faster — if you know someone in our network, that's your best path in. But we built this application because great founders deserve to be heard regardless of who they know. We review every submission.

If there's a fit, you'll hear from us within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stage do you invest at?

We focus primarily on seed stage investments, when there is a product built that we can see or play with and a few customers or users actively leveraging the product for their needs. We are typically the first institutional check into a company that has raised <$2M in total before we get involved. We invest anywhere from $1M to $2M initially.

What sectors do you invest in?

We invest in companies building the future of finance and vertical AI. This includes fintech, financial infrastructure, capital markets technology, wealth management, financial data, and AI applications in financial services.

How should I reach out?

The best way is through a warm introduction from someone in our network. If that's not possible, use the founder application form above. We review every submission and respond within 48 hours if there's a fit.

Do you lead rounds?

Yes, we often lead or co-lead seed rounds. We're comfortable setting terms and bringing in other investors we've worked with over the years.

What do you look for in founders?

We back founders with deep domain expertise, unique insights into their market, and the grit to build through the inevitable challenges of startup life. Teams with a history of working together successfully are especially attractive. See our approach for more details.
