More than a check

“I can finally focus on actually building the true company.”

— Natalya Lopareva, Founder & CEO, Algorized

We back early-stage B2B software founders and embed a full-time operator to run everything but product and engineering — finance, hiring, marketing, ops. You keep building. We keep pace.

Our strategy

Focused founders build stronger companies.

The teams we back learn and ship faster. They know their customer cold, hire strong people early, and make big bets with conviction. We underwrite speed, and we multiply it with our support model.

“It's the fund that can run as fast as the founders.”

Our Support Model

Operational drag should never be your bottleneck.

Every shuckerVC portfolio company gets a full-time operator: the Support Partner. They run finance, hiring, vendors, and reporting—anything that pulls your attention away from your product and customers.

Support Partner Impact

2h/week of founder time

Finance ops

Books closed by the second week of the month — start to finish, on just two hours of your time a week.

8h/week of founder time

Recruiting

Four engineers hired end to end — sourced, screened, and closed — on eight hours of your time a week.

100% qualified — no wasted meetings

GTM

Every sales call you take is a qualified lead — pipeline built and screened before it reaches you.

12h on podcasts — earned media

PR

Your Support Partner handles the media — right shows, right audiences — so you just show up, and your reach with customers and investors keeps compounding.

Where the depth comes from

One hire. The depth of a firm.

You make one hire — a Support Partner, salary at cost. Behind them sits the firm: GPs who hire, train, and manage them, and a specialist bench on call when the work needs depth.

“It's just a software/agent interface — no UI or anything.”

Portfolio

The next interface shift, backed early.

Conversational AI is the biggest shift in interfaces in 40 years. The startups moving on it now are the ones that will lead.

Team

The people in your corner.

Operators first. JP and Graham are operators, not just investors — decades spent building, scaling, and running the back office we now run for you.

Support Partners

Exceptional operators, embedded in your company.

The exceptional talent behind every portfolio company — full-time operators we recruit, train, and embed to run the work that keeps founders on product and customers.
