Fortify Ventures is a US early-stage venture manager founded in June 2011 to support Washington, DC startups. Its current strategy focuses on technology for consumer health and human performance, investing after a product exists and before product-market fit, commonly at pre-seed or seed. It publishes a USD100,000–2 million typical check range, which is a mandate rather than any company’s actual allocation. The current five-person partnership combines operating and investment experience. Its public portfolio mixes selected historical Fund I holdings and newer Fund II investments, including AI-agent infrastructure and neurotechnology. Fund II is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2024 with its SEC address in Ashburn, Virginia. Its latest retrieved July 25, 2025 filing reports USD900,000 sold against a USD50 million target; this is an interim subscription disclosure, not a verified final close. Unfinished template office addresses on the website are excluded.
