Description

Chapter One is a venture capital investment firm focused on backing founders and startups with immense, imaginative ambition — described as 'investing in founders authoring the future we want to live in.' The firm maintains a portfolio of startups it backs, and publishes writing, events, and podcasts via Substack covering topics like venture investing, status, and industry trends. Its team includes General Partners Jeff Morris, Jr. (an early Tinder team member and VP of Product, Revenue) and Jamesin Seidel (who joined in January 2022 with a background in anti-spam, online safety, and professional sports betting), along with a CFO & COO, a Venture Partner focused on branding, and a Chief Executive Assistant. The firm engages primarily with startup founders seeking investment and with limited partners (LPs) for fund relations.
