About
Origins Fund is a unique venture capital firm that specializes in backing consumer technology startups from pre-seed to Series A. What sets Origins apart is its strategy of combining financial investment with the power of social influence. The fund's limited partners include high-profile athletes and celebrities who collectively have over 160 million social media followers. This provides an "unfair advantage" to the startups in its portfolio by significantly boosting their visibility and growth potential. Origins typically invests between $100,000 and $500,000 per startup and reserves additional capital for follow-on investments in the most promising companies. The fund focuses on category-defining consumer businesses, particularly those that can benefit from the massive influence and reach of its celebrity LPs. The fund's co-founders, including former French football star Blaise Matuidi, are based in global hubs like Miami, New York, and Paris, allowing Origins to maintain a diverse and internationally connected portfolio. Notable investments include companies like Upway, a marketplace for reconditioned e-bikes, and Moka.care, a corporate mental health solution.
