Our Thesis
What we believe about building the future
Conduit was founded on the conviction that exceptional technology companies are built when great founders have the right operational support at the right time. We invest in that belief every day.
NYC, New York
41 E 11th St, 10003
Founder-first, always
We structure our support around what founders actually need — not what looks good in a deck. That means rolling up our sleeves on product, infra, and GTM from day one.
Technology is the leverage
The best startups are built on technical moats. We look for founders who understand that exceptional engineering and smart architecture create durable competitive advantages.
Markets reward speed
In early-stage, velocity wins. Our hands-on model is designed to compress timelines — from MVP to product-market fit, from first customer to repeatable revenue.
Global problems, local roots
Based in the heart of NYC, we connect founders to one of the world's deepest talent, capital, and enterprise buyer networks — while backing solutions for global challenges.
Technical Foundation
Cloud-native infrastructure that scales with you
Most early-stage startups delay infrastructure decisions until they become crises. At Conduit, we help you build on a solid technical foundation from the start — so your architecture is an asset, not a liability, when you scale.
