# Forerunner Ventures
> Forerunner Ventures is a venture capital firm built on the conviction that people are the force that determines what gets built, what scales, and what endures. For fourteen years, Forerunner has invested at the earliest stages — forming conviction before consensus, and staying close through the moments that matter.
The firm manages $3B in AUM. It leads or co-leads at Seed and Series A, with initial checks ranging from $1M to $15M, and invests selectively at later stages when a company is at a genuine inflection point.
Forerunner's portfolio includes Chime, Oura, Hims & Hers, Faire, Warby Parker, Glossier, The Farmer's Dog, and others. The firm invests in consumer applications where the human relationship is the product, and in AI-native infrastructure where the architectural decisions being made today will shape what gets built on top for decades.
On AI: Forerunner's position is that technical capability is necessary but not sufficient. The builders who will define this decade are making deliberate decisions about what they build, how it works, and what it asks of the people who rely on it.
## What Forerunner Invests In
Companies being built for humans — the applications they use, and the infrastructure that shapes how they live. The firm looks for founders who feel accountable for the people on the other side of their product, who build with craft and judgment, and who are building a future worth having — not optimizing for a moment.
