January Ventures was designed to "rewrite the networks in venture" by structurally replacing the friends & family round through cold outreach via a two-minute form (no deck, no warm intro), with ~18% of investments coming from true cold emails and a >100-person operator network that sources 36% of deals while actively opening customer/investor doors for portfolio companies. The fund positions itself as a returns-first arbitrage on bias, arguing the market systematically underprices women and founders of color relative to performance, and built their entire sourcing, evaluation and brand around exploiting that pricing inefficiency by backing "tenacity and ambition, not pedigree."
