Since 2017, we have partnered with outstanding entrepreneurs shaking up many industries.
-
SMS Marketing for E-commerce
Fun fact: we met Postscript in Y Combinator 2019 and invested the same day. We had such conviction in SMS as a marketing channel having tinkered with a similar idea years prior. The product-centricity of the founders, the strong customer love and clear momentum blew us away in a way that doesn't often happen. Since then, Postscript has 100x'd growth and most recently raised a $65M Series C.
-
Marketplace for healthcare employment
We first met Matt and Lennie when they were going through the Texas Medical Center Innovation (TMCi) Accelerator Program. They had encountered the problem of nurse staffing first hand at Hired and decided to build a dedicated platform. We were drawn to their unique insights and their nurses-first mission. Since then, the business has raised over $150M and to become the de facto leader in healthcare staffing in the US.
-
Onprem analytics platform
We met Posthog in February 2020 when Covid had begun to rage and VC investments had ground to a halt. Nevertheless, we were blown away by the founders James and Tim, who had built an open source product analytics tool that developers were clamoring for. The team were shipping code at warp speed. 1984 co-led the round with YC. Since then, Posthog has become the de facto leader in product analytics and have dramatically expanded their offering to incorporate the functionality of Amplitude, Segment, Launch Darkly and Fivetran combined.
-
Rental cars on demand
We were compelled to invest in Kyte after trying the product. Press a button on your phone and a rental car arrives at your doorstep. Think Uber for car rentals. Founders Ludwig, Nikolaus and Francesco have the rare combination of skills to build software and manage physical inventory: bits and atoms. Since first investing in 2019, the company has grown over 100x and operates in over 16 cities in the US.
-
Flexport for commercial contractors
It's particularly intriguing when two Goldman Sachs bankers team up with a data scientist to pursue an industry as boring the commercial services industry. And that's precisely what got us excited about the Convex team. They realized that data can help commercial service businesses win more deals—and quit their very lucrative jobs to pursue this idea. We led the seed round in 2019, and since then, the company has raised a Series A from Emergence and a Series B from Fifth Wall and GGV.
-
Marketplace for procurement
It all started over a coffee with Tarek and Kevin. And we quickly knew we had to invest. Exceptional enterprise sales acumen + a powerful value proposition = a truly compelling company. Since our pre-seed investment, Fairmarkit has expanded to handle the tail spend of some of the world's most iconic companies (like BP, Boeing and Snowflake) as well as raised a Series A led by Insight, a Series B led by GGV and a Series C led by Omers.
-
Marketplace for flatbed trucking
It was love at first sight when we met Kurtis and Kris Tryber: twin brothers trucking experts who could sell and code. Kurtis and Kris found a “niche” hiding in plain sight: flatbed trucking accounted for 20% of the $800B freight market but was completely overlooked by incumbents. So they decided to build the dominant marketplace in the space. We led their pre seed in 2020 and since then the company has grown substantially and raised a Series A from Left Lane Capital.
-
Labor marketplace for the agriculture industry
Seso is a quintessential 1984 investment. The core product is a marketplace connecting farms with agricultural workers: an overlooked but surprisingly large market. The CEO Mike discovered the market opportunity after helping his cousin on her farm in California's central valley. At 1984, we helped Mike through the brainstorming phase and were the only institutional investor in his pre-seed round. Since then, the company has gone on to raise from NFX, Index Ventures and Founders Fund.
-
Predictive analytics for retailers
When we met Syrup's founders, James and Ferdinand, we were surprised to learn that the biggest fashion retailer in the US is actually Chinese company Shein. Shein takes a data-driven approaching to launching clothing lines and forecasting demand. James and Ferdi built Syrup to provide retailers with similar inventory management and demand forecasting capabilities. We led Syrup’s pre-seed in 2021 and have been blown away by the team's execution ever since.
-
Making specialty medication more accessible and affordable
After Flatiron Health was acquired by Roche, CMO Ogi Kavazovic joined 1984 as a Venture Partner and we iterated on many ideas together. Ogi kept returning to a unique insight from his time at Flatiron: specialty pharmacy, which accounts for over 50% of the pharma industry's revenue, remains outdated and leads to poor adherence. This inspired an idea: to offer clinics the chance to provide their patients with the specialty pharmacy experience they deserve. Ogi teamed up with Tesh Kullar, former head of provider solutions at Flatiron Health, to build a company that is steadily becoming a category-defining player in the industry.
-
Driving operational efficiency for service contractors
BuildOps provides a SaaS platform for commercial service contractors to manage their workflows, from scheduling and dispatching to invoicing. We were drawn to the combination of an unsexy industry and a sexy team: The founders had experience in running a real estate group, building products at Microsoft, and leading technology teams at ServiceTitan. Since our investment, the company has raised over $50M and established itself as a leader in this space.
