s16vc is a founder-centric venture capital firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Amsterdam with ties to Palo Alto. Branding itself a "Founders for Founders" fund, s16vc invests at the Pre-Seed to Series A stage in global-first tech companies, with a geographic focus on the US and Europe. Check sizes typically range from $750K to $2.7M across sectors including enterprise software, fintech, AI, legal tech, gaming, and robotics. The firm's LP base comprises over 150 founders, operators, and investors — including the founders of Datadog, UiPath, Miro, Chargebee, Wolt, Supercell, and Intercom — whom it actively connects with portfolio companies for strategic advising. S16 Fund I is closed and Fund II, domiciled in Delaware, remains open. To date the firm has backed approximately 27 companies with a team of 46 people including 16 partners. Deal flow is driven primarily through community referrals rather than cold inbound.
