Founder-First Venture Fund
Net Product Utilization
NPU Ventures backs founders at the earliest inflection
Why NPU
Your first check matters most. We aim to be that partner.
NPU is our shorthand for proof that a product delivers real value. For one company it might mean Net Product Utilization. For another, uptime, adoption, or retention. The metric changes. The standard doesn't.
We support, not micromanage. When we partner, we aim to be the first call, whether it's payroll or the next fundraise. We've seen how much the right investors matter and how much the wrong ones cost.
