Featured in #8Power Law Investor Ranking · Global · 2026 Top 0.5%by Seed → $100M+ revenue outcomes

BoxGroup was founded in 2009 by David Tisch and Adam Rothenberg as a New York City pre-seed fund. The thesis is unchanged since the start: write the smallest possible early cheque on a wide funnel of New York and East Coast deals, with a high-conviction filter on founders.

BoxGroup is on the cap table of Plaid, Warby Parker, Glossier, Ramp, and Vercel among many others. The fund explicitly stays at pre-seed and Seed.

Logos hosted by Dealroom; click any chip to open the company in app.dealroom.co. The dot inside each chip shows the company's highest tier — red Gigacorn, violet Centicorn/Decacorn, lavender Unicorn, blue Thoroughbred, green Colt. Tiers are inclusive: a Unicorn (e.g. Klarna) also matches the Thoroughbred filter, a Decacorn also matches Unicorn and Thoroughbred, and so on up the ladder. Colt is a separate axis (high-growth, smaller revenue) and only matches itself. Map dots use the same colour code; hover for details. Sectors are mutually exclusive (priority-ordered classification). Stage entered = the round BoxGroup first invested in (where data is available — coverage 93%).
