Investment Thesis
Confluence VC is a community-backed fund investing in the platforms, products, and protocols that will define the next generation of venture capital. The firm focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage companies building the 'picks and shovels' for the startup and VC ecosystem. Their unique advantage stems from their large, active community of VCs, which provides proprietary deal flow, diligence, and portfolio support.
Manager's Experience
The firm is led by founder Clay Norris, who previously served as a Principal at an early-stage venture fund focusing on B2B software after a career in investment banking. Confluence operates on a community-backed model, leveraging a network of over 1,500 VCs and founders for sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support. This structure provides founders with access to a broad base of expertise beyond the core management team.
