BFF

What they do

Founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneurs Miguel Burger-Calderon and Derek Hall, BFF (By Founders for Founders) is a New York-based early-stage venture firm. The firm leverages its partners' extensive operational experience to support founders building impactful companies for the "99%". Positioned as a highly founder-friendly and empathetic investor, BFF is particularly active in the Latin American and US ecosystems, providing hands-on guidance and an extensive network.

What they look for

BFF's core thesis is to "invest in companies that can have a large, positive impact for the 99%". They believe that SaaS, FinTech, and Consumer Infrastructure companies serve as the underlying drivers of society and have the most profound impact on the larger population. They look for founders with deep domain expertise building essential, often "unsexy" infrastructure, investing primarily in *people*-specifically, reasonable founders who understand the balance between rapid growth and proper governance.
