About Awesome People

Founded in 2019, Awesome People Ventures is a venture capital firm founded by Julia Lipton.

She prefers to:

• Making minority investments in seed-stage, early-stage, and later-stage companies.
• Investing in healthcare, wellness, software, artificial intelligence, and FoodTech sectors.

From the GP

• I believe web3 is the most exciting technological and cultural inflection point that we’ll see this decade. If we do our jobs right, together we’ll build a better, more equitable, and inclusive future.
• We practice what we preach. Awesome People Ventures shares carry with our core contributors.
• We’re backed by awesome LPs like Chris Dixon, Marc Andreesen, Multicoin, Electric Capital, and OG crypto founders.
• Prior to investing, I ran growth for 0 to pre-IPO companies. I help founders navigate PMF, fundraise, and build community.

Reviewing startup decks

When a deck lands in Julia’s inbox, here’s her thought process:

• Do I invest in this industry?  undefined
• Depending on the industry, would I invest in a company at this stage? If a company is too early or too late, I don’t want to waste the founders’ time. undefinedundefined
• Do I believe this is a $B+ (billion dollar plus) opportunity?  undefinedundefined
• Do I believe in this approach? I’m always looking for a unique insight and unseens inflection point. undefined
• Does the team seem credible?  undefined
• What additional info would I need to decide whether or not to take a meeting?  undefined
