2048 Ventures Pre-Seed Fast Track

2048 Ventures’ Pre-Seed Fast Track is a year-round funding initiative helping early stage founders raise pre-seed rounds quickly, often securing lead investment checks of $250K–$750K with an efficient due diligence process and strong post-investment support, especially for startups in sectors like Vertical AI, Deep Tech, Health and Bio.

• Lead Pre-Seed investment from $250K to $750K
• Commitment to fund within ~10 business days of first meeting
• Fast, transparent process tailored for early stage founders
• Travel costs paid for in-person diligence meeting
• Support pulling together the rest of the round via co-investor network
• Post-investment support: milestones, go-to-market, recruiting, fundraising preparation
• Ongoing founder support and regular check-ins (observer status instead of board seat)
• Potential to co-invest larger checks up to $3M for seed stages

Early stage startup founders raising a pre-seed / first round; companies that haven’t raised more than $2M and typically with complete teams and strong founder-market fit.
