Union Square Ventures is a venture capital firm based in New York City. It describes itself as a small, collegial partnership of generalist investors working across many sectors and technologies. Its guiding investment thesis — investing at the edge of large markets being transformed by technological and societal pressures — is described as having emerged over 20 years of investing in and supporting companies and protocols that invent new forms of opportunity and solve important problems in new ways. The firm looks for the edge of large markets, technological and societal pressures, new behaviors and new business models, and networks. A 2011 characterization attributed to Brad Burnham summarized USV as investing in large networks of engaged users, differentiated by user experience, and defensible through network effects.
