About

Abstraction Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm that focuses on supporting technical founders building tools for developers and technical users. With a sweet spot in pre-seed and seed rounds, Abstraction invests in companies that create products designed to free developers from non-core tasks, allowing them to focus on high-value activities. Notable investments include Buf, a schema design platform for APIs, and Freshpaint, a tool for seamlessly connecting websites to marketing stacks without code. They have also backed companies like Parabeac, which automates design-to-code workflows, and Octane, a platform for monetizing usage-based software, which was acquired by Stripe. Led by founder Taylor Clauson, Abstraction is rooted in the idea that the infrastructure behind software development holds immense opportunity. Clauson brings over a decade of experience, having previously worked at OpenAir Equity Partners, where he focused on IoT and data startups. Based in Kansas City, Abstraction maintains a developer-first ethos and prioritizes long-term partnerships, providing capital, mentorship, and technical insights to help startups scale from their earliest stages. Their portfolio reflects a deep commitment to enhancing developer productivity through innovative, technical solutions, emphasizing infrastructure, API management, and low-code platforms.
