🎂 Adverb Turns Two!
This month marks two years since founding Adverb – thank you for following along with our updates and being a vital part of the community we’re building!
In the last two years, we have backed 42 founders across 22 companies, and are now a team of four full-time investors (👋 Liza Gurtin and Gary Pesola)! Since our last update, we’ve launched a new website and invested in Hypernatural, Mozi, Untold, and a few more we’ll announce when they’re ready 🤫.
🖌️ Adverb.vc has a fresh coat of paint!
When we set out to plant our flag in the crowded venture capital landscape, we wrestled with the words we would use to convey who we are. We always knew that the best way to answer “who is Adverb?” would be by showing our work—sharing the list of founders we’d backed. We looked forward to the day we could unveil a website featuring the humans behind our portfolio, and the time has finally come!
These 42 humans, the founders in our portfolio, are breathing life into our vision for Adverb. And we’re happy to show them and their companies to you in our re-designed adverb.vc.
