We’re Offscript, a founder-first seed firm built for high-agency entrepreneurs who defy convention and build transformational companies. Rooted in integrity, operational firepower, and deep empathy, we deliver disproportionate value through capital, hands-on support, and partnerships that align with your vision, not the consensus. We’re based in between Boston and New York, but don’t believe in strict geographic boundaries.
Founder Stories
Founder Stories
"Giuseppe has been an incredible partner to have on our cap table in a meaningful way since the seed round. From day one, he showed unwavering support for our vision and continues to give tons of guidance and mentorship, beyond what most early stage VCs offer."
"Even though he isn’t a multi-stage firm and has a lean team, Giuseppe has made a larger impact out of anyone on the cap table and from what I hear about from my founder friends. He picks up the phone whenever I call, shoots it to me straight, and treats me like family. A founder couldn’t ask for a better investor."
"Giuseppe has been an incredible partner to have on our cap table in a meaningful way since the seed round. From day one, he showed unwavering support for our vision and continues to give tons of guidance and mentorship, beyond what most early stage VCs offer. Giuseppe and his team were instrumental in getting our Series A done (led by a16z) at a time when we needed to grow even faster."
"When we met Giuseppe, we could tell he was different than most VCs—he’s a founder first and it shows. He doesn’t just chase the latest fad. He made the fundraising process painless as he was able to understand our business and vision quickly. Giuseppe and the team were always there for us when we needed them—we couldn’t have asked for another post-investment VC."
"What truly sets Giuseppe apart from most VCs is the immense founder and operator empathy he brings to every interaction. Having been in the trenches together, I've seen firsthand how well he understands the inherent pressures and fast pace of building a company. His deep technical expertise means he doesn't just get the vision; he is able to challenge it in all the right ways."

"Giuseppe is one of the most approachable, immediately actionable investors on our cap table. From product and GTM deep-dives to strategic investor intros, Giuseppe’s network and expertise have been the most instrumental parts of our early success. Sophie has also been a tremendous value add whenever we have needed something– always acting with precision and speed.
"
"Giuseppe and the team showed from day 1 that they get what we are trying to do. Not just from the product and go-to-market side of things, but also from the driver's seat of a founder building something new along the road less traveled. We know they will be in our corner as we build a big, impactful company."
At Offscript, we celebrate the journeys of founders who defy the norm, turning unconventional insights into transformative companies. These stories highlight the bold, relentless spirit of the entrepreneurs we back—each one a testament to going off script with clarity, grit, and unwavering conviction.

Investment Strategy
01
Pre-Product / Early Ideation
Exceptional teams with asymmetric insights into large or overlooked markets. We win through long-term founder tracking, building rapport early, and adding value pre-investment.
02
Early Product Traction
Companies showing revenue or product market fit, with de-risked tech and GTM validation. We excel at rapid diligence, user signal gathering, and catalyzing early traction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should you partner with Offscript?
Because we’ve lived the startup journey ourselves — the zero to one, the pivot, the near-misses, the breakthrough moments, and the exit. We’re not just investors; we’re builders. We know how lonely and nonlinear building can be. At Offscript, you get a partner who brings real-world operating experience, fast decisions, and honest advice. We stick with you through build, scale, and everything in between.
What types of companies does Offscript invest in?
We invest in founders, not categories. Our focus is on high-agency builders tackling big problems with unconventional insights, often before the rest of the market sees it. Whether pre-product or scaling early traction, we look for teams with conviction, technical depth, and the courage to build what others overlook.
What is Offscript’s investment process?
We like getting to know you — and we want you to know us. We’re a small, founder-led team, which means we move fast, stay flexible, and make decisions quickly. Before an initial meeting, we’ll review whatever you share — a deck, product demo, or even a short note — to understand what you’re building and why it matters. From there, we’ll spend time with you digging deeper: exploring the market, understanding your insight, and speaking with people who can help us learn more. We also encourage founders to ask us hard questions and to reference us — this is a two-way diligence process. When it’s a fit, we close quickly. Every process is different, but we can move as fast as conviction demands.
How much does Offscript typically invest?
We write checks in the region of $250K to $1M, at the pre-seed and seed stage. We reserve real time, attention and hands-on support for each founder, not just capital commitments. If we invest, you get access to our full operational firepower.
How can I pitch the Offscript team?
Reach out directly. We don’t hide behind forms or gatekeepers. The best way to connect is to email us directly at hello@offscriptvc.com (include your deck or context about what you’re building), or come meet us at one of our ecosystem gatherings in Boston or New York. We’re founder-first, and always open to ambitious builders doing things their own way.
Why the name Offscript?
Because the best founders don’t follow scripts — they write new ones. The name embodies our ethos: we back those who build differently, think independently, and turn conviction into impact. Going Offscript isn’t about rebellion for its own sake; it’s about creating something original and enduring.
