The Twenty Minute VC

The Twenty Minute VC (20VC) is a venture capital firm founded by Harry Stebbings, leveraging the extensive network and insights gained from his highly popular podcast of the same name. Established in May 2020, the firm focuses on early-stage investments in technology companies across various sectors. 20VC distinguishes itself through a unique model that integrates media and venture capital, providing proprietary deal flow and operational insights to its portfolio companies.

The firm's investment strategy targets early-stage startups, specifically engaging in Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B funding rounds. 20VC's third fund, which closed at $400 million in October 2024, allocates $125 million to seed investments and $275 million to Series A rounds. The firm typically provides pre-seed and seed investments ranging from $100,000 to $3 million, and Series A investments between $5 million and $15 million.

20VC invests across a broad spectrum of industries, including technology, software, gaming, artificial intelligence, fintech, consumer, climate, business services, and healthcare. The firm has a particular interest in companies that are disrupting large markets with outdated technology, poor talent brands, slow product development, or inadequate customer service. Notable investments include companies like Tripledot Studios, Linktree, Poolside, Pachama, Nex Health, Sorare, Captions.ai, Taxdoo, Linear, Merge, Peec AI, Lupin & Holmes, Denki, and Entire.

Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, 20VC actively invests in companies across North America and Europe. The firm's team includes Harry Stebbings as Founder, along with several partners and a robust team of operators specializing in areas such as sales, growth, and product, who contribute to three distinct sub-funds: 20Sales, 20Growth, and 20Product. This operational expertise is a core component of 20VC's value proposition to its portfolio companies.
