Investment Thesis
Overmatch Ventures invests in founders building at the intersection of national security and open source software. The firm leads pre-seed and seed rounds with initial checks ranging from $500k to $2M. They differentiate themselves by acting as deeply technical partners, leveraging an extensive network of operators, engineers, and government end-users to support their portfolio companies from the earliest stages.
Manager's Experience
The general partners, Alex Krueger and J.D. D’Errico, along with Partner Matt Addington, all previously worked together at Shield Capital, a defense-focused venture firm. Their prior experience includes roles as investors at growth equity firm TCV, and they all began their careers as investment bankers at Goldman Sachs. This background provides a strong foundation in finance, growth-stage investing, and the national security sector.
