Cove Fund

Cove Fund is a seed-stage venture capital fund based in Irvine, California, focused on fueling innovation within the Southern California startup ecosystem.

We provide early-stage capital to promising technology and life science companies, helping them achieve key inflection points and scale their operations. Our investment strategy centers on identifying exceptional founding teams and supporting their growth through a ‘seed and feed’ approach, typically investing $250K to $1M in initial rounds and reserving capital for follow-on financing.

Located within UC Irvine’s Applied Innovation hub, The Cove, we benefit from a dynamic community of entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors, fostering a collaborative environment that drives success. We are committed to partnering with our portfolio companies to achieve significant returns for our investors and contribute to the continued growth of Southern California’s vibrant startup scene.
