Company bio
There's too much hype in the valley--from cryptocurrency to flying autonomous taxis. At 1984 Ventures we believe the next wave of value creation will come not from hype but rather from applying technology to large, established industries--industries like real estate, logistics, business back office and finance. We focus on seed and early stage startups. It is what we know and love, and where we provide the most value.
