Paragraph

We aren’t just supporting characters, we change the arc of a founder's story.

We look for a distinct set of qualities in the founders and companies we back. If these statements resonate with what you're doing, we’d love to hear from you.

What area of focus does Paragraph invest in?

We focus on companies who are shaping the future of work with their software. This means your product is specifically used in the workplace to help employees and companies work together, work better, and work smarter.

Do you invest in businesses that are not B2B focused?

We are strictly in the busines-to-business world. This is our expertise and focus for all portfolio companies.

What stage of the starup lifecycle do you invest in?

We invest in early-stage startups that are in their pre-seed or seed rounds. Our fund and thesis give us a unique position to help your company get off the ground and scale up.

Is my valuation suitable for Paragraph to make an investment?

We invest in businesses valued under $2M to stay aligned with our thesis and maximize the number of companies we can partner with over the life of our Volume One fund.

What qualities are you looking for in a founder?

We look for founders with grit. Building an enduring company is rarely a straight line. We look for founders who can navigate uncertainty, learn quickly, make progress with limited resources, and keep moving when the work gets difficult. Grit is not about having every answer—it's about the resolve to find a way forward.
