Visible Hands pairs a 14-week, intensive, cohort-based fellowship with a pre-seed fund, investing before founders even have a fully formed company or co-founding team—an unusually hands-on, studio-like approach for a pre-seed fund. The firm explicitly positions itself as "the most trusted platform for early-stage, underrepresented founders," running unusually large cohorts (e.g., 51 founders) across multiple cities and treating founders' lived experiences in underserved markets as an investable asset.
