Weekend Fund raises $10M for second early-stage fund – TechCrunch


Listen Later

Product Hunt founder Ryan Hoover has raised another $10 million to invest in nascent upstarts via Weekend Fund.
The news represents the firm’s second fundraise after a $3 million debut angel fund that closed in 2017.
Weekend Fund, which also operates an experiment to encourage employees to build side projects into companies called Weekend Build, invests across geographies and industries with a particular interest in audio and voice products, tools for distributed teams and remote workers, and low-code/no-code projects.
Weekend Fund joins a long line-up of early-stage micro-funds (or nano-funds, if you prefer) setting aside capital to compete with the likes of GGV Capital, Sequoia Capital and other monster funds that deploy capital at the seed stage, too.
Weekend Fund, for its part, doesn’t lead investments, rather, it writes small checks as a participant in early financings. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1574708408.041027/Weekend-Fund-raises-$10M-for-second-early-stage-fund-–-TechCrunch?ref=audio_experience
