BoxGroup
VC firm · Founded 2009 · Active in 2026
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.
