Executive Summary

Early-stage venture still presents an attractive opportunity for investment as valuations remain
Background reasonable and outcomes grow larger as markets continue to expand. There is a dearth of high-
conviction investors willing to invest in unproven founders before Product-Market Fit, but that is
where the alpha is. irrvrntVC helps founders get to that next stage and monetize the upside.

Andrew Gluck is the Founder and Solo GP of irrvrntVC. He has over a decade of experience at the highest
levels of performance digital marketing, including co-founding WITHIN, the largest digital marketing agency
Team in the US. There he spent $2BB+ on Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and Snapchat and ran performance
marketing for brands like Nike, Shake Shack, Etsy, and Zola.

irrvrntVC is building a strong brand and reputation in this space that drives differentiated deal flow
Strategy and invests in three core sectors where the fund has an unfair advantage: DTC (25%), AdTech (25%),
and NextGen Commerce (50%).
