Early Convictions

Honoring the companies we had high conviction in.

Columbia Venture Partners has a long history of providing its members the opportunity to make bold convictions on early-stage start-ups and emerging verticals. Before the inception of the Morningside Venture Fund, CVP's sourcing initiative served as an outlet for members to identify high-conviction companies and share them with partner funds across New York City.

Today, MVF gives us the opportunity to deploy capital behind these convictions directly. For the companies we are unable to invest in, we maintain this archive as a record of the founders, ideas, and markets that captured our attention.

As time progresses, we'd like to look back on this list progressively and the early convictions we made in the next big start-ups.
