Mosaic General Partnership Research
Investment Thesis
Mosaic General Partnership partners with exceptional founders building game-changing companies at the intersection of technology, industry, and culture. The fund is built on the belief that venture capital's greatest power is creating large-scale impact and generational change. They focus on sectors where their deep network and experience can bend the risk curve, leveraging relationships across founders, CEOs, industry leaders, athletes, and influencers to create immediate value.
The firm explicitly seeks to back founders who "refuse to fit in" - those with unconventional backgrounds and diverse perspectives. Their network is notably diverse and includes NBA players, entertainment executives, technology leaders, and industry veterans across healthcare, fintech, sports tech, and emerging sectors.
Stage Focus and Investment Strategy
Mosaic General Partnership primarily focuses on early-stage investments at seed and Series A stages, with occasional pre-seed investments for exceptional founders with strong networks. The fund invests across all stages represented in their portfolio but concentrates on seed-stage companies where their operational expertise and network provide the greatest advantage. Their investment strategy emphasizes sector expertise where team experience can bend the risk curve.
