About

Pillar VC is a venture capital firm based in Boston, Massachusetts, specializing in early-stage investments, particularly in pre-seed and seed rounds. Founded in 2016, the firm focuses on supporting founders from the very beginning, often before formal incorporation, and invests in various sectors including AI/ML, biotech, consumer, enterprise, fintech, and crypto/web3. Pillar VC manages multiple funds, including the recent $192 million raised for Pillar III and Pillar Select. This allows them to continue backing companies with significant potential to become foundational pillars of their industries. Their investment strategy includes leading seed rounds with investments ranging from $2 million to $6 million and making pre-seed investments between $50,000 and $500,000. The firm is distinguished by its commitment to buying common stock to align closely with the founders' interests. Pillar VC also provides robust support through a dedicated platform team that assists with talent acquisition, expert connections, pitch polishing, and investor introductions. This approach has helped foster successful companies like Algorand, Desktop Metal, and PillPack​.
