Avalanche VC invests early in technology companies transforming how people learn, earn, and own.

Learn

At the foundation of every successful life is a learning journey. Learning compounds and creates more demand for itself. Everyone will need to continue to learn over their entire lifespan. We invest in technology that delivers learning outcomes at scale at every life stage and in many contexts.

Earn

The world of work and career is changing to be platform-driven, flexible, and independent. Everyone is an entrepreneur, or they must learn to think like one. We invest in platforms that increase empowerment, improve efficiency and productivity, and increase skills in every vertical. 

Own

In every society, optimizing ownership of assets is key to success. In the AI-driven era, owning data and rights to intellectual property is critical. Accumulating appreciating and income-generating assets are the goal of every earner. The effectiveness of the state is crucial to wealth building. We invest in technology that increases ownership of assets, powers small and medium-sized businesses, and efficiently delivers public services.

Featured Portfolio Companies

We invest in founders catalyzing the future and building their life's work.
