Trust Ventures

Trust Ventures is an Austin‑based venture fund that seeks startups tackling society’s biggest problems—especially technologies trapped by political or regulatory stasis—and builds a portfolio to drive progress in industries held back by public policy barriers. They invest like traditional VCs but act as unpaid strategic advisors, helping founders with relationships, regulatory strategy and advocacy to level the playing field with larger incumbents.
