Investing in founders who solve problems at scale using technology

Sunn91 Ventures is a pre-seed and seed stage investment fund for founders, by founders.

Contact us

Sunn91 is an operator driven independent fund with extensive global experience in technology.

We are a pre-seed and seed stage investment fund for startups in the technology space. Our approach is sector agnostic, and we typically prefer to co-invest in the round.

Having been founders ourselves, we are proudly able to call ourselves ‘operator-driven’ and truly mean it. Prior to forming Sunn91, our older investments were made individually, in a personal capacity. Currently, our agile process ensures that we make our investment decisions within just two calls with founders.

The real value of our involvement is by ‘clearing the fog’ - we provide our founders with a candid environment where they can be vulnerable as well as direct. We advocate founders to make their decisions independently, with us simply playing the role of catalyst. Our trust in each other makes it more than just capital, we’re all about growing together.
