About
Asylum Ventures is a Brooklyn-based pre-seed and seed fund that invests in founders who approach company-building as a creative endeavor. The firm focuses on non-consensus ideas and categories that are often overlooked by other VCs, backing 'artists' who are building things they want to see in the world. They aim to be a supportive, aligned early partner, offering $1-2 million checks and typically not taking board seats.
