Asylum Ventures invests $1‑2 million in early‑stage founders who approach building companies as an artistic endeavor. The firm makes a handful of investments each year, provides calm, trust‑based support, and deliberately avoids taking board seats or exerting administrative control. Their focus is on founders who are obsessive, creative, and willing to pursue unconventional ideas.
