Moxxie Ventures was founded in 2017 by Katie Rae, former partner at Floodgate Capital and former managing director of Techstars Boston. The firm focuses on seed-stage investments with a distinctive founder-first philosophy, emphasizing long-term partnerships with entrepreneurs rather than transactional relationships. Rae brings deep operational experience from her time building MIT's entrepreneurship ecosystem and her track record at prominent accelerators. Moxxie's investment approach centers on identifying exceptional founders early and providing hands-on support throughout their journey. The firm has built a reputation for backing technically sophisticated companies across AI, enterprise software, consumer applications, and fintech.

What sets Moxxie apart is its commitment to founder empowerment, often taking smaller ownership stakes to preserve founder control while providing strategic guidance and access to extensive networks in both Silicon Valley and Boston.
