Afore Capital
Massachusetts
Afore Capital is a $47 million fund co-founded by Anamitra Banerji & Gaurav Jain to support product-oriented founders at the very earliest stage (pre-seed). Our sweet spot is the $500K-$1.5M round, where we can lead the pre-seed round as an institutional investor alongside high value angels. At Afore, we believe that before there's a company, before there's a business, there's a product founder leading by product. The products are often raw, sometimes just rough concepts requiring a lot of imagination. They are pre-traction and pre-obvious. But they come from founders with non-obvious insights and infectious ambitions. We started Afore to back these founders at the pre-seed stage exclusively, on day zero of their journey. We bring with us 16 years of product experience and 7 years of institutional investing experience.
Founded:2016
