Venture Capital

Addition

Addition is a New York City-based venture capital firm founded in 2020 by Lee Fixel, the former head of Tiger Global Management's private equity business. The firm invests in founder-led, technology-enabled companies across multiple stages, allocating roughly one-third of its capital to early-stage investments and the remainder to growth-stage opportunities. Sectors of focus include software and SaaS, fintech and payments, artificial intelligence and machine learning, developer tools and infrastructure, cybersecurity, consumer, logistics, and clean energy. Typical checks range from about $10M to $200M, with a reported sweet spot near $30M-$50M. Addition operates a streamlined solo-GP model with Fixel as sole managing partner making final investment decisions, enabling fast conviction. Across Addition One through Addition Five (2020-2023) the firm raised roughly $7B-$7.3B in committed capital. Notable investments include Stripe, Snyk, Hugging Face, Chainalysis, Navan, dLocal, Delhivery, Airwallex, Freshworks, Warby Parker, and Lyra Health.
