Bonfire Ventures backs founders reshaping how businesses operate as AI rewires every workflow and every team.
With more than $18B in exit value and two decades investing in business software, we bring hard-earned pattern recognition from prior platform shifts and a steady presence from the earliest days onward.
We lead seed rounds and commit deeply to a small number of companies each year, so our founders get the full weight of the team, not just a check.

Track Record
