Tunitas Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2022 by Eric Ver Ploeg, PhD, and based in Menlo Park, California. The firm's core strategy is to back "category creating" startups that are defining entirely new markets with few to no direct competitors. They invest across all technology sectors, explicitly excluding healthcare-related companies, and seek investments with the potential for over 50x returns. A significant value proposition is providing material assistance to portfolio companies in raising their subsequent Series A rounds from top-tier investors, offering a proven fundraising playbook, warm introductions, back-channel feedback, and strategic advice.
