D3VC: AI-Native Venture Capital

Invest in America.

Diversified, data-driven exposure to the private companies building America, the businesses Wall Street reaches only after their IPOs. We read every Reg CF filing since 2016 and invest where venture capital stopped looking.

Why we're here

Venture didn't shrink. It narrowed.

The gap

America runs on the businesses venture capital stopped funding.

  • Venture moved upstream. 86% of H1 2026 venture dollars went to AI, concentrated in three or four metros.
  • Great companies still start everywhere. A record 10,000+ U.S. startups are on pace to raise a first round this year, in all fifty states.
  • No natural home. A company in the wrong metro or sector, or too capital-efficient to need a mega-round, has nowhere in venture to go.

The opportunity

One market makes these companies open their books, and we built the tools to read it.

  • One market never stopped disclosing. Since 2016, Regulation Crowdfunding has put about $3B into these companies, with real financials filed with the SEC, year after year.
  • A decade of data no one else has. A record of every raise and every dollar committed since 2016, captured live and impossible to rebuild.
  • A running start. We invest early, across enough companies to catch the breakouts.

Fill the gap the market left, with data no one else has, a team built to read it, and a portfolio decorrelated from where the rest of venture is crowded. That's what D3VC was designed to do.

The portfolio

This is what America's private economy looks like.

The companies that make, grow, care for and invent things, wherever in the country they happen to be.

“After careful consideration, I made the decision to invest in D3VC. Sherwood's outstanding reputation, industry expertise, and exclusive dataset were major factors that influenced my choice. Additionally, the team's proficiency in machine learning and AI employment convinced me that this market segment has great potential and is not yet fully served.”

How it works

From record to judgment, in four steps.

  1. 01

  2. 02

    The score

    A multi-dimensional quantitative framework screens every prospective investment.

  3. 03

    The workflow

    AI across the pipeline, from offering extraction to deal-memo generation.

  4. 04

    The judgment

    Experienced investment committee review. The thesis is backtestable because the data is historical.
