Who we are

Hobart Ventures is a Los Angeles based fund investing at the earliest stage in consumer software. Pilot Fund I has backed nine companies across social, marketplaces, and consumer health. I run the fund as a solo GP, coming from an operator background building zero to one growth at Raya and Dispo.

Funding Requirements

We invest in consumer software at the pre-seed /early seed stage, writing first checks into companies where community is core to the distribution engine. Focus areas: social, marketplaces, creator tools, ed tech, social commerce, community platforms, consumer AI, consumer health, and travel. We invest in companies with a bit of traction, specifically looking at early cohort retention, typically on SAFEs alongside other funds and angels. Los Angeles based, investing in the US.

Value add

I spent my career building consumer products before investing in them, so the help is operational rather than advisory. Most of it is distribution; how you seed a first cohort, how you get a community to carry growth instead of paying for it, and how you find the wedge that makes early users recruit the next ones. I also run The Lobby, a pre-investment founder program for companies at the earliest stage.
