The Bit Foundation

Team

Operators first, investors second.

Everyone here shipped products, missed numbers, and had the uncomfortable conversations before they started writing checks. It changes the kind of advice you get.

  • Amara Okafor

    Founding Partner

    Amara spent eleven years building payments products before writing a check, which is why she is usually the partner asking about reconciliation on a first call. She started the firm in 2016 after a decade of watching good companies get bad advice.

    Focus
    Fintech, payments, infrastructure
    Before
    VP Product, Stripe
    Boards
    Ledgerly, Payform, Northgate
  • David Chen

    Founding Partner

    David built and sold a data infrastructure company, then spent two years as an operator inside the acquirer, which he describes as the most useful education of his career. He works closest with founders selling into large organizations for the first time.

    Focus
    Enterprise software, security, go-to-market
    Before
    Founder and CEO, Datastream
    Boards
    Sentinel, Bastion, Quantum Leap
  • Priya Nair

    Partner

    Priya trained as a systems engineer and still reads the code. She joined in 2019 and leads most of our infrastructure investments, where her first question tends to be what breaks at a hundred times the current load.

    Focus
    AI systems, developer tools
    Before
    Principal, Lightspeed
    Boards
    Forge, Riverbed, Cascade
  • Marcus Webb

    Partner

    Marcus ran growth at a company that went from two hundred thousand to nine million users in three years, and is candid that much of it was timing. He is the partner founders call when the funnel stops working and nobody knows why.

    Focus
    Consumer, commerce, growth
    Before
    Head of Growth, Notion
    Boards
    Cartwheel, Shelfwise, Pixelford
  • Sofia Ramos

    Partner, Accelerator

    Sofia runs the accelerator and sets the bar for what gets into it. She was a CTO twice, once badly, and talks openly about the first one because she thinks founders learn more from that story.

    Focus
    Early-stage product, technical teams
    Before
    CTO, Vercel
    Boards
    Coral, Aperture, Mentormind
  • Grace Bennett

    Chief Financial Officer

    Grace built the finance function at a company that grew from forty to two thousand people, and now keeps ours honest. Portfolio founders borrow her for board decks, pricing models, and the first real budget.

    Focus
    Fund operations, portfolio finance
    Before
    CFO, Figma

Founders who pick up the phone

Working here

We hire rarely and openly.

There is no open role right now. When there is, it will be listed here rather than routed through a recruiter. If you want to be on the list for the next one, write to us and tell us what you would want to work on.

Want to talk to one of us?

Tell us which partner and why. We route it directly rather than through a general inbox.
