Cornerstone VC is a UK venture capital firm that invests from pre-seed to pre-Series A in tech-enabled companies led by diverse teams, including founders based outside London and the South East. It grew out of Cornerstone Partners, an angel network, and organises its thesis around three themes: Live (health, carbon, supply chain, proptech), Work (enterprise software, AI, fintech, edtech) and Play (marketplaces, communities, web3, adtech). Initial cheques are typically £250k to £1m, with reserves for follow-on rounds. It also offers portfolio talent support and an expert network, and runs the Cornerstone Origins angel network.
