NPU Ventures backs founders at the earliest inflectionWhy NPU
As founders, we know how hard it is to secure your first check. The first investor matters most. We aim to be that partner.
Startups are about focus. Choosing the single metric that matters most. For us, that was NPU. Today, NPU is our shorthand for proof that a product is delivering real value in the real world. For one company it might mean Net Product Utilization. For another it might be uptime, adoption, retention, or something mission-specific.
NPU is a founder-first firm. We are here to support, not micromanage. When we partner, we aim to be the first call, whether it is navigating payroll or preparing for the next fundraise. We have seen firsthand how impactful the right investors can be and how damaging the wrong ones are. We bring those lessons into every partnership.
