NeoTerra Capital is an inception-stage venture capital and startup investment firm focused on backing visionary founders and disruptive early-stage companies at the very beginnings of formation, often before formal product or market validation. The firm invests conviction-driven capital and provides hands-on strategic support to help shape company trajectories from the earliest days.
Pre-Seed / Seed: Core focus on pre-product, concept-to-seed stage ventures (often termed an “inception fund”), where potential is still being defined.
Series A: Selective follow-on participation in early Series A rounds for top-performing portfolio companies (inferred from model of follow-on practice).
Initial checks: Typically $250K–$2M initial investment, with flexibility based on deal needs and conviction.
Total round participation: Through syndication and SPVs, rounds can exceed $2M+ for early growth.
Invests in founders with transformative ideas, raw potential, and a willingness to build new markets or redefine existing ones across emerging tech, AI, digital health, real estate tech, and other frontier sectors.
Founders normally engage through warm introductions, direct outreach via the NeoTerra.Capital portal, or referrals from co-investors and ecosystem partners.
