Lattice Ventures is a network-driven VC firm based in NYC.  

Lattice invests in entrepreneurs who personally understand the problems they plan to solve. Building a lasting business requires a big vision, backed by strong skills and insights and a rooted passion in the outcome is key.

We believe that connections to experienced operators, peers and industry experts at the right time can dramatically accelerate company growth. We believe in funding the best and accelerating our portfolio with the right networks.

We believe there are diversity of needs that are not currently served by technology. We invest in companies pursuing industries hungry for innovation with technologies that are defensible via network effects. 

 

We share our experience, resources, and network to accelerate entrepreneurs.

Lattice Ventures works with each portfolio company on growth, talent and identifying the right resources to accelerate them to their next inflection point.  We understand the challenges entrepreneurs face and where decisions today will affect future rounds.  

Partners Brittany Laughlin and Vanessa Pestritto have worked together in advising companies and each other for years.  We are building Lattice to address the market need for value add investors at the seed stage with operational advice and industry access.
