Charles River Ventures

The only one who should tell you what to do is your customer.

We can get to a “yes” in 24 hours.

No project is too early or too ambitious. We aim to be your first term sheet. We lead rounds; we don’t wait for others to show social proof.

Once we get there, we stay there — in good times and bad.

We’ve been helping founders work through it since 1970.

Our back-channel references are even cleaner than our term sheets.

We believe entrepreneurship will be the great equalizer.

When we speak up, it will be for a good reason.
