Our goal at BoxGroup is to invest at the earliest stage. Early stage fundraising has taken on many names— friends & family round, pre-seed, seed, etc. and were open to all of them. Were comfortable with what early means— a lot of assumptions, more vision than traction, and raw product. At BoxGroup we believe that technology can be a catalyst for positive change and progress. We look for entrepreneurs working at the beginning of movements in existing markets, or new markets yet to be created, and with visions to create the next generation of category defining businesses.

We back the best university and recent alumni founders — like Cursor, Dandy, RapidSOS, and Shield AI — with a network of investors, mentors, and their first check.
