About TMV
TMV is a leading early-stage venture fund writing first checks to launch purpose-driven companies. Founded by Soraya Darabi and Marina Hadjipateras in 2016, TMV is paving the way for a next generation of founders focused on addressing the care economy, the future of work, logistics, and tech enabled climate solutions. As an integrated partner to each of our founders, TMV has helped companies like Ridwell make it easier to reduce and recycle responsibly, Portcast provide predictive and prescriptive analytics for ocean freight, and Parsley Health develop doctor-led holistic health care. As a result, TMV has been named twice by Inc. Magazine as one of the most founder friendly venture capital firms. Across two previous funds and a recently launched third fund TMV has amassed a portfolio of over 55 companies that are leveraging technology to ensure a better tomorrow.
