About us

Our favorite founders are a little early, and so are we.

Hannah Grey is a thesis-led venture firm. We lead pre-seed and seed rounds for customer-obsessed founders who are redefining everyday experiences.

Our thesis comes from Cultural Vibrations, our research into the societal tensions driving cultural and commercial change. It helps us recognize what's next while it is still taking shape.

“Hannah Grey was instrumental in bringing our Series A together. It was challenging to combine what we’d learned from customers, research and the industry at large into a coherent narrative. While we had good information, we struggled to tie it together and effectively communicate our big vision to new investors.”
— Jacob Segil | Founder, CEO Afference
