Why Founders Choose Bonfire

We
Lead

We lead 95% of our Seed investments — and often stay involved with capital, guidance, and partnership as founders grow.

100%
B2B

B2B software is our only focus. We know the playbook, the pace, and the pain points. No consumer. No hardware. No distractions.

Next Round Ready

The founders we support raise Series A at nearly twice the industry average—a reflection of a model built specifically for early-stage.

Track Record

Companies we’ve backed have created over $18B in exit value, including The Trade Desk, TaxJar, and Scopely.

Trusted
Partner

Ask around—we’ve built ours by being the calm, trusted, and clear voice in the moments that matter most.
