CRV seeks to invest in authentic founders who are the best in their field, prioritizing individuals with the ability to realize big ideas. The firm values expertise and authenticity, believing that being the person who can make an idea a reality is as important as the idea itself. CRV supports founders who work hard to build businesses around transformative concepts, ensuring they have an advantage with CRV's backing.
