Dash Fund

Dash Fund is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, dedicated to investing in the nascent stages of groundbreaking FinTech companies. Established in 2021 by seasoned FinTech investor Ryan Falvey, the firm explicitly targets pre-seed and seed-stage startups poised to redefine their respective categories within the financial technology landscape. Their investment thesis centers on identifying visionary founders and providing the foundational capital and strategic support necessary for early growth.

The firm's investment strategy is characterized by its focus on significant, early-stage capital deployment. Dash Fund typically writes initial checks ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000, aiming to be a lead or significant participant in these crucial early funding rounds. This approach allows them to partner closely with founders from the very beginning, offering more than just capital. Ryan Falvey's extensive background in FinTech, including his prior role as a managing partner at Financial Venture Studio, underpins the firm's deep industry knowledge and network, which are leveraged to support portfolio companies.

Beyond financial investment, Dash Fund emphasizes providing operational guidance, strategic advice, and access to a robust network of industry experts and potential partners. This hands-on approach is designed to help early-stage FinTech companies navigate the complexities of product development, market entry, and scaling. By concentrating on the "next wave" of innovation, Dash Fund aims to foster the development of solutions that address critical needs and opportunities across various segments of the financial services industry, from infrastructure to consumer-facing applications.
