BoxGroup

BoxGroup is a prominent New York-based seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2009 by David Tisch and Adam Rothenberg. The firm has established itself as one of the most active early-stage investors in the New York tech ecosystem, known for its founder-first philosophy and willingness to write the first institutional check. BoxGroup typically invests between $250K to $1M in pre-seed and seed rounds, taking smaller ownership stakes to allow founders to maintain control while providing crucial early capital and support. The firm has built an impressive track record with investments in companies like Warby Parker, ClassPass, Plaid, and Ramp. BoxGroup's approach emphasizes speed in decision-making and a high-touch, hands-on relationship with founders, often serving as a bridge between angel investors and larger VCs. The firm's partners leverage their extensive network and operational experience to help portfolio companies with everything from recruiting to business development, making them a sought-after early partner for ambitious entrepreneurs.
