Avid Ventures

Avid Ventures is a New York-based seed and Series A venture firm founded by Addie Lerner, with a thesis focused on category-defining software and consumer companies. The directory entry has limited disclosed data, but the firm typically invests $1M-$5M at seed and Series A. Healthcare exposure is opportunistic, with the firm focused more broadly on category-defining software; not a healthcare-specialist firm, but credible for healthcare software founders with a strong narrative and category-leading ambition. Best fit: founders building category-defining healthcare software or consumer health businesses at seed or Series A, with a clear path to becoming a market leader; founders who would benefit from a thoughtful, narrative-driven New York-based firm with a strong track record on category builders. Entry path is the Avid Ventures website and warm intros through the firm’s existing portfolio or the New York seed and Series A ecosystem. Not a fit for biotech, medical devices, life sciences tools, or pre-seed founders. Founders should bring a sharp category-leadership narrative; this is not a check that follows a generic SaaS pitch. The firm’s brand has been built on betting on potential category winners, and founders should pitch accordingly.
