True Ventures
True Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2006 by Jon Callaghan and Phil Black and headquartered in Palo Alto / San Francisco, California. Operating under a "first to believe" thesis, True writes the initial institutional check and stays invested through every subsequent stage of a company's journey, concentrating on pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds with check sizes reported in the roughly $500K-$15M range. The firm invests broadly across technology and founder-led categories including software and developer infrastructure, consumer products and internet, healthcare and life sciences, hardware and robotics, climate and energy, security, and AI. With more than $3.8B in committed capital, True has backed 1,050+ founders across 500+ companies since inception, with notable early checks into Fitbit, Peloton, Ring, Automattic/WordPress, HashiCorp, Duo Security, Sweetgreen, Bluesky, and Splice.
