Partner Emeritus
Founder CollectiveCheck size: Founder Collective keeps its funds below $100M but does not publish a standard current check-size range.
Eric Paley invests or supports investments through Founder Collective's published strategy: Back weird and wonderful, sector-agnostic seed companies where founders have strong founder-market fit and can create intrinsic customer value efficiently.
Founder-first teams solving a specific problem for a specific customer with conviction, capital efficiency and an unusual market insight.
Hype without intrinsic customer value, poor founder-market fit and capital-inefficient strategies conflict with the firm's published ethos.
Focus on the customer use case, founder-market fit, intrinsic value, capital efficiency and why the opportunity is weird in a productive way.
