We back the brilliant, the boundless, the brave.

 
  • The team behind Fortson VC has spent over two decades refining our craft as an elite seed stage investor in the PNW.

  • Entrepreneurs need authentic investors – investors they can trust and who embrace the opportunity to work alongside them as they overcome challenges. We believe that People are our greatest assets and that there is simply no substitute for integrity, creativity, and courage.

  • The Fortson team has been intentionally built to meet a specific profile. Our model is about talent density, highlighting quality over quantity. This allows exceptional people to create extraordinary value.

  • The world is changing rapidly when it comes to innovation as it relates to leveraging data. Our data-driven approach is built with the intention that every workflow improves efficiency, increases productivity, and reduces bias.
