TLDR: pre-seed and seed venture fund. Puffin invests directly and in emerging managers

PuffinVC backs emerging managers. We back first- and second-time fund managers sub $50m. All the seq***s and a##z's of the world were but wee little funds once upon a time (and since then, big funds have scope-creeped 🕷️ and underperformed 📉).
