Thin Air Labs Fund I:
Investing for Impact
We are raising a $100M venture fund to invest in early-stage, entrepreneur-led innovation and technology ventures generating meaningful returns and impact on investment.

“Our strength is exclusively investing in early-stage companies and assisting them with business formation, product development and initial market traction.”
JAMES LOCHRIE, MANAGING/CAPITAL PARTNER
Investment Thesis

Founders
First
Founders are uniquely capable of
influencing the success of their business. We build long-term relationships and partner their expertise with ours.

Invest At
The Earliest Stages
To generate 100x returns we invest early when most investors deem ventures too risky. We help founders gain traction and follow institutional investors in later rounds.

Human Impact Equals ROI And IOI
We believe, the larger and more meaningful the human impact of the investment, the greater the probability of outsized ROI and IOI (Impact on Investment).
