Our Focus
We seek to back pre-seed and seed stage founders focused on creating innovative digital trust solutions.
1414 is the only active fund solely backing pre-seed and seed-stage founders who are pioneering innovative digital trust technologies.
Identity, security and compliance are moving from manual processes to embedded software and networks.
This shift is accelerating as AI systems begin acting autonomously, cyber threats become more sophisticated, digital assets proliferate, and regulatory expectations expand globally.
Digital trust is at a point of inflection and is evolving from a back office function to the foundational layer for trust, privacy, and security.
Drivers for Change
Considering that there are more non-human digital identities than human identities, digital trust is becoming the core infrastructure of the digital and artificial intelligence economy.
