Co-Founder and Partner
NextView VenturesCheck size: $250K-$4M initial investments, with follow-on reserves.
Lee Hower invests or supports investments through NextView Ventures's published strategy: Lead pre-seed and seed rounds, often before meaningful traction, for AI and software companies tackling mass-market human problems across North America.
Extraordinary founders with authentic insight, bold ambition, strong founder-market fit and the potential to make a product ten times better, faster or cheaper.
The firm focuses on North American pre-seed and seed AI and software; later-stage companies and opportunities without mass-market human utility are less aligned.
Demonstrate founder-market fit, 10x product potential, increasing returns to scale, market size, product-market-fit risk and why $250K-$4M is the right first partnership.
