We’re specialists in pre-seed and seed. The startups we back go far. Best-in-class founders do not come around every day. When they do, we jump at the opportunity to work together. Our approach is to work with just a small number of best-in-class founders so we can dig in and go deep.

Webs makes small business marketing simple. Whether you need to get online, want to engage your customers, or are ready to grow your business, our online marketing platform can help you reach your goals. Don't own a small business? Our features are powerful yet easy to use, so they're a great choice for personal users and non-profits too. Webs was founded in 2001 by brothers Haroon and Zeki Mokhtarzada in order to provide a great DIY website building and hosting solution that was easy for anyone to use. As the business grew, the leaders saw new opportunities to help small business owners and personal users reach their online goals. As a result, the social marketing tool Pagemodo and the contact management tool ContactMe were brought into the fold. Webs was acquired by Vistaprint in 2011, in order to add a digital complement to their extensive marketing solution offerings. Now a subsidiary of Vistaprint, Webs maintains its unique startup-inspired culture at the company's long-time Silver Spring, MD location.
