Connect Ventures
K-selected seed VC making 8-10 investments yearly with partner-only attention—hummingbird precision that produced two unicorns from $80M funds.
Connect Ventures operates like a hummingbird—small body, extraordinary precision. Making only 8-10 investments per year while most seed funds spray capital broadly, Connect exemplifies K-selection: fewer offspring, intensive parenting. Their thesis that 'opinionated products, crafted with love, and loved by many' win markets parallels how specialist species outcompete generalists in stable niches. The partner-only model (no junior investors sourcing deals) ensures every portfolio company receives attention from experienced practitioners, not delegation chains. Two unicorns (Oyster, TrueLayer) from small funds prove concentration works when selection is rigorous.
